1.       Fiona drives 60 miles per hour on
the Highway

And drives 30 miles per hour on the City.

She got a total of 312 hours in the highway and 112 hours in the city

Find the average speed of Fiona:

Formula of Speed

=> S = d / t

Let H be the distance in Highways

and Let C be the distance in City

=> H = 60 x 312

=> H = 18 720

=> C = 30 x 112

=> C = 3360

=> Total distance = 18 720 + 3 360

=> 22 080 miles

Let’s find the total time

=> H + C

=> 312 + 112

=> 424 hours


Speed = 22 080 / 424

S = 52.1 miles per hour
