ou are to drive to an interview in another town, at a distance of 300 km on an expressway. The interview is at 11:15 a. m. You plan to drive at 100 km/h, so you leave at 8:00 a. m. to allow some extra time. You drive at that speed for the first 100 km, but then construction work forces you to slow to 40.0 km/h for 43.0 km. What would be the least speed (in km/h) needed for the rest of the trip to arrive in time for the interview?

    133.62 kmh.

    Explanation:

    Time provided = 3.25 hours.

    Distance to be covered 300 km

    Times spent in first 100 km = 1 hour

    Time spent in next 43 km

    = 43 / 40 = 1.075 hours

    Total time spent = 2.075 hours

    Total distance covered = 143 km

    Distance remaining = 300 - 143

    =157 km.

    Time remaining = 3.25 - 2.075

    = 1.175

    Speed required = Distance remaining / time remaining

    = 157 / 1.175

    = 133.62 kmh.
