A motorist on a road trip drives a car at different constant speeds over several legs of the trip. He drives for 55.0 min at 65.0 km/h, 13.0 min at 90.0 km/h, and 40.0 min at 30.0 km/h and spends 55.0 min eating lunch and buying gas. (a) What is the total distance traveled over the entire trip (in km)? km

In reaching her destination, a backpacker walks with an average velocity of 1.31 m/s, due west. This average velocity results, because she hikes for 6.93 km with an average velocity of 2.06 m/s due west, turns around, and hikes with an average velocity of 0.688 m/s due east. How far east did she walk (in kilometers)?
