Question

Jillian is running errands. During part of her day, she travels 10 km east for 10 min. She stop at a store for 15 min, and travels 15 km west for 22 min?

(A) How many legs does the trip have?
(B) Write down the data for each leg for the trip?
(C) What was Jillian’s average speed for her entire trip ?
(D) What was her average velocity for the entire trip?

Answer 1

Jillian's trip has 3 legs. Her average speed can be calculated by dividing the total distance traveled by the total time taken.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jillian's trip has a total of 3 legs. (A) The first leg is when she travels 10 km east for 10 min. (B)

The second leg is when she stops at a store for 15 min. (C) The third leg is when she travels 15 km west for 22 min. (D)

To calculate Jillian's average speed for her entire trip, we need to find the total distance traveled and the total time taken. The total distance traveled is 10 km + 15 km = 25 km.

The total time taken is 10 min + 15 min + 22 min = 47 min. Average speed = total distance / total time = 25 km / 47 min
