Answer: Tom's average speed for the rest of the journey = 48mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Total distance driven = 200 miles

total time taken = 4hours

first 32 miles , he drove at an average speed of 64mph, To find the amount of time taken for the first 32 miles,

We Use the formulae

Speed = distance / time

Time = Distance / speed

=32/64 = 1/2 =0.5 hours

The remaining distance = Total distance covered - first 32 miles covered

= 200 -32= 168 miles

The remaining time for rest of journey = Total time taken - time covered in the first 32miles

4hours - 0.5 hours

=3.5 hours

Therefore Average speed for the rest of the journey = Distance for the remaining journey/  remaining time

168miles/ 3.5hours = 48mph
