A car averages 55 mph for the first 4 hours of a trip and
averages 70 mph for each additional hour. The average speed
for the entire trip was 60 mph. How many hours long is the trip?

Answer Posted / shobhit awasthi

It's very simple

When we calculate we will find that


55*4=220
and
also
70*2=140

and as question said that the average speed is 60 so

220+140=360/6=60 that's it

No other option is satisfying the average speed condition.
