Question
chloe is going on a 200 mile trip. She leaves at 10 am and travels for 4 hours at an average speed of 36 mph. How fast would she need to travel for the remainder of her journey in order to arrive at 4pm
Solution
Sure, let's break it down:
-
First, we need to calculate how far Chloe has traveled in the first 4 hours. We do this by multiplying the time she traveled by her speed. So, 4 hours * 36 mph = 144 miles.
-
Next, we subtract this distance from the total distance of the trip to find out how much further she needs to travel. So, 200 miles - 144 miles = 56 miles.
-
Then, we need to calculate how much time she has left to travel. She started at 10 am and needs to arrive by 4 pm, so she has 6 hours total. She has already traveled for 4 hours, so she has 2 hours left.
-
Finally, we find out how fast she needs to travel to cover the remaining distance in the time left. We do this by dividing the distance left by the time left. So, 56 miles / 2 hours = 28 mph.
So, Chloe would need to travel at an average speed of 28 mph for the remainder of her journey in order to arrive by 4 pm.
