Question
Jamie cycled from home to school at 7.01 a.m.. She arrived at 7.21 a.m.. Her average speed was 12 km/h. When her lessons ended, she rode home at 1.20 p.m, at an average speed which was 2 km/h slower than her initial speed. What time did she reach home?
Solution
Primero, determinemos el tiempo que Jamie tardó en llegar a la escuela. Ella salió de casa a las 7:01 a.m. y llegó a las 7:21 a.m., lo que significa que el viaje duró 20 minutos.
Convertimos 20 minutos a horas:
Sabemos que su velocidad promedio fue de 12 km/h. Usamos la fórmula de distancia:
Ahora, determinemos el tiempo que Jamie tardó en regresar a casa. Ella salió de la escuela a la 1:20 p.m. y su velocidad promedio fue 2 km/h más lenta que su velocidad inicial, es decir, 10 km/h.
Usamos la misma fórmula de distancia para encontrar el tiempo de regreso:
Convertimos 0.4 horas a minutos:
Jamie salió de la escuela a la 1:20 p.m. y tardó 24 minutos en llegar a casa. Sumamos 24 minutos a la 1:20 p.m.:
Por lo tanto, Jamie llegó a casa a la 1:44 p.m.
