The correct Answer is:
To find Donald's average driving speed during the week, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the total distance driven To find the total distance driven, we need to subtract the initial mileage from the final mileage. Initial mileage = 16,450 kilometers Final mileage = 18,130 kilometers Total distance = Final mileage - Initial mileage Total distance = 18,130 km - 16,450 km Total distance = 1,680 kilometers ### Step 2: Calculate the average driving speed The average driving speed can be calculated using the formula: Average speed = Total distance / Total time We know the total distance is 1,680 kilometers and the total time is 30 hours. Average speed = 1,680 km / 30 hours Average speed = 56 kilometers per hour ### Conclusion Thus, Donald's average driving speed during that week is **56 kilometers per hour**. ---

Brian plans to complete a 100-mile bike race for charity. According to his registration materials, he will need to ride at an average speed of 12.5 miles per hour if he wants to complete the course before it closes. On a pratice ride the week before the race, Brain rides 60 miles and trackes his speed. For the first 30 miles, his average speed is 16 miles per hour, and for the next 30 miles, his average speed is 15 miles per hour. If Brian can match these speeds for the first 60 miles of the charity race, then he rests for that total of 1 hour after that, what approximately speed must he maintain for the last 40 miles in order to complete the ride on time?

A military band was marching on a street in the same direction as the normal traffic flow. A motorist was approching the band from behind in his car just at the moment when they were playing the musical note A (frequency 440 Hz ) in unison. The same band' performance was also simultaneously being broad live on the ratio from a stationary microphone which was situated on the sidewalk just ahead of the band. The motorist noticed that the combination of the direct sound coming from the band ahead of the band brodcast produced discernible beats. Timing the beats, he counted 4 beats in 3 seconds. He noted from the speedmeter that his car was travelling at 18 kilometers per hour. Calculate the speed in meters per seconds at which the band was marching assuming that the speed of sound on that day was 330 ms^(-1) . (It was a very cold day)
