Question

own Everything's Coming Up Roses flower shop. Your employee makes 4 deliveries per hour. The distance between the shop and the first delivery is 12 1/3 miles. The distance between the next three deliveries is 8 3/4 miles; 17 2/8 miles; and 23 2/3 miles respectively. The distance from the final delivery to the shop is 10 5/10 miles. What is the average distance for all segments of this trip

Answer 1

The journey is broken down into five segment

Shop - first delivery =
`12 (1)/(3)` miles
First delivery - second delivery =
`8 (3)/(4)`
Second delivery - third delivery =
`17 (2)/(8)`
Third delivery - fourth delivery =
`23 (2)/(3)`
Fourth delivery - shop =
`10 (5)/(10)`

The average distance for each segment are:

`[12 (1)/(3)+8 (3)/(4)+17 (2)/(8)+23 (2)/(3)+10 (5)/(10) ]`÷
`5`


`(145)/(2)`÷5 =
`(29)/(2)=14 (1)/(2)`
