Problem 16
Qiang drives miles at an average speed of
miles per hour. How many additional miles will he have to drive at
miles per hour to average
miles per hour for the entire trip?
Solution 1 (by looking at the answer choices)
The only option that is easily divisible by is
, which gives 2 hours of travel. And, the formula is
.
And, =
.
Thus, .
Both are equal and thus our answer is
Solution 2
To calculate the average speed, simply evaluate the total distance over the total time. Let the number of additional miles he has to drive be Therefore, the total distance is
and the total time (in hours) is
We can set up the following equation:
Simplifying the equation, we get
Solving the equation yields
so our answer is
.
Solution 3
If he travels miles at a speed of
miles per hour, he travels for 30 min. Average rate is total distance over total time so
, where d is the distance left to travel and t is the time to travel that distance. Solve for
to get
. You also know that he has to travel
miles per hour for some time, so
. Plug that in for d to get
and
and since
,
, the answer is
.
Solution 4
Let be the amount of hours Qiang drives after his first 15 miles. Average speed, which we know is
mph, means total distance over total time. For 15 miles at 30 mph, the time taken is
hour, so the total time for this trip would be
hours. For the total distance, 15 miles are traveled in the first part and
miles in the second. This gives the following equation:
Cross multiplying, we get that , and simple algebra gives
. In 2 hours traveling at 55 mph, the distance traveled is
, which is choice
