A group of bike riders took a 4.0 hour trip. during the first 3.0 hours, they traveled a total of 50. kilometers, but during the last hour, they traveled only 10. kilometers. what was the group's average speed for the entire trip?

Respuesta :

Answer:

15 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance traveled in first 3 hours = 50 km

Distance traveled in last one hour = 10 km

Total time taken, t = 3 hours + 1 hour = 4 hours

Total distance traveled = 50 km + 10 km = 60 km

The average speed is defined as the ratio of total distance traveled to the total time taken.

[tex]Average speed = \frac{total distance traveled }{total time taken}[/tex]

[tex]Average speed = \frac{60}{4}[/tex]

Average speed = 15 km/h

Thus, the average speed of the bike riders for the entire trip is 15 km/h.

Answer:

The average speed of the group in 4 hour trip is 15 kilometers per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

A group of bike riders took a 4.0 hour trip.

The riders cover 50 kilometers in first 3 hours. Write the distance and time in symbols as,

[tex]d_1=50\rm km\\t_1=3\rm hr[/tex]

Then, they cover 10 kilometers in 1 hour. Write the distance and time in symbols as,

[tex]d_2=10\rm km\\t_2=1\rm hr[/tex]

Now, the average speed of the group will be,

[tex]S=\dfrac{\texttt {total diatance travelled}}{\texttt {total time}}\\S=\dfrac{d_1+d_2}{t_1+t_2}\\S=\dfrac{50+10}{3+1}\\S=\dfrac{60}{4}\\S=15\rm km/hr[/tex]

Therefore, the average speed of the group in 4 hour trip is 15 kilometers per hour.
