Answer: D
Explanation:
Given that a car travels from point A to B in 3 hours and returns back to point A in 5 hours. Points A and B are 150 miles apart along a straight highway.
From point A to B
The speed = distance / time
Where
Distance = 150 mile
Time = 3 hours
Substitute the values into the formula
Speed = 150/3 = 50 mile/ hours
From Point B to Point A
Distance = 150 miles
Time = 5 hours
Where speed = distance/ time
substitute all the parameters into the formula
Speed = 150/5 = 30 mph
Therefore, The car travels at 50 mph for the first half and 30 mph for the second half.
The correct answer is option D
