Question
Ann took 5 minutes to walk from the school to the park.She walked another 750 m at a speed of 60 m/min from the park to the shopping mall.Ann walked a total distance of 1260 m.Find Ann's average speed for the whole distance.
Solution
Step 1: Calculate the time Ann took to walk from the park to the shopping mall.
The speed is given as 60 m/min and the distance is 750 m.
Time = Distance / Speed = 750 m / 60 m/min = 12.5 minutes
Step 2: Calculate the total time Ann took to walk from the school to the shopping mall.
Total time = Time to walk from school to park + Time to walk from park to shopping mall = 5 minutes + 12.5 minutes = 17.5 minutes
Step 3: Calculate Ann's average speed for the whole distance.
Average speed = Total distance / Total time = 1260 m / 17.5 min = 72 m/min
So, Ann's average speed for the whole distance is 72 m/min.
