A car goes from point A to point B. The speed of the car is constant at 88 km/hr for 65% of the total distance. At that point the weather gets bad and the car covers the remaining distance at 48 km/hr. If the total time of travel from A to B was 3.8 hours, what is the distance between the two points? Write your answer in km.

A car goes from point A to point B. The speed of the car is constant at 81 km/hr for 66% of the total distance. At that point the weather gets bad and the car covers the remaining distance at 46 km/hr. If the total time of travel from A to B was 3.1 hours, what is the distance between the two points? Write your answer in km. Note: The time is in a decimal, NOT hours and minutes
The time it takes a car to travel from City A to City B is measured as 51 min ± 8 min. The time it takes the car to travel from City B to City C is measured as 47 min ± 6 min. What is the total measured time for the car to travel from City A through City B to City C?
While on a car trip of 2000 km, you travel half of the distance at 120 km/hr and the other half at 30.0 km/hr. On the return trip, you travel half the time at 120 km/hr and the other half at 30.0 km/hr. What is your average speed for the entire trip (in km/hr)? Type your answer here km/hr
