A motorist on a road trip drives a car at different constant speeds over several legs of the trip. He drives for 55.0 min at 65.0 km/h, 13.0 min at 90.0 km/h, and 40.0 min at 30.0 km/h and spends 55.0 min eating lunch and buying gas. (a) What is the total distance traveled over the entire trip (in km)? km (b) What is the average speed for the entire trip (in km/h)? km/h

Some vehicles along super highways in the Philippines run at almost break-neck speed of 80 km/h. What is the speed in miles per hour (mi/h)? Conversion factor: 1.609 km = 1 mile
Averages follow the same rule. Suppose a car travels around a track three times. Your measurements for the three trials are 45.0 km/h, 48.21 km/h, and 47.024 km/h. Determine the average speed of the car. 45.0 + 48.21 + 47.024 = 140.234 140.234 + 3 = 46.744 66 Because the least precise measurement is 45.0 km/h, the answer can be precise only to the nearest one-tenth. Thus the correct answer, rounded off, is 46.7 km/h. Answer the following questions. 15.
