Prisha and Simon are travelling to Scotland for the half term break.
They decide to share the driving and split the car journey into two stages.
During the first stage of the journey their car travels 110 miles in 2 hours.
For the second stage of the journey their car travels 44 miles at the same average speed as stage one.
Can you work out in minutes the time taken for the second part of their journey.
Answer:
Using Speed = Distance / time
Average speed for the first stage = 110/2 = 55 mph
Time taken for second stage = 44/55 = 0.8 hours = 0.8 x 60 = 48 minutes
