    1. How long does the bus take to travel from town M to R?
    2. What is the average speed for the whole journey?

Answers

  1. Average speed = Total distance travelled/total time taken
    Time taken = 100/40 + (160 −100)/30
    = 2½ + 2 = 4½
    Total distance = 160 km
    Average speed = 160/
    = 35.56 km/h
  2. Time between Monday 0545hr and Friday 1945
    = 4x 24 + 14 = 110 hrs
    Time lost = 0.5 x 110 = 55 min.
    Time in 12 hr system
    (1945 – 55 – 1200)
    = 6.50 p.m.
  3. Time between Monday 0445h and Friday 1845h
    = 4 x 24 + 14 = 110h
    Time lost = 0.5 x 110
    = 55min
    Time shown in 12 hour system
    1845 – 55 = 1750 h
    = 5.50 p.m
  4.  
    1. 1600h – 830h = 7hrs 30min or 7 ½ hours
    2. Average speed = 300/7½ = 40km/h
