6. Ed drives from Jefferson to Holden, a distance of 250 miles. He then travels on toPaxton, which is 50 miles from Holden. If it takes him 5 hours to complete the entiretrip, how fast was he traveling if he is traveling at a constant speed?

Answer:The constant speed with Ed is travelling is 60 mile per hour Step-by-step explanation:Given as :The distance cover to travel from Jefferson to Holden is (D1) 250 milesThe distance cover to travel from Holden to Paxton is (D2) 50 milesTotal time taken to complete entire journey = T = 5 hours Let The constant speed of Ed = S mph Time = [tex]\frac{Distance}{Speed}[/tex] Or, Time = [tex]\frac{D1}{S}[/tex]  + [tex]\frac{D2}{S}[/tex] Or, 5 hour =  [tex]\frac{250}{S}[/tex]  + [tex]\frac{50}{S}[/tex] Or, 5 × S = 250 + 50 So,  5 × S = 300 ∴           S = [tex]\frac{300}{5}[/tex] I.e         S = 60 mphHence , The constant speed with Ed is travelling is 60 mile per hour Answer
