A bus traveled on a level road for 2 hours at an average speed 20 miles per hour faster than it traveled on a winding road. The time spent on the winding road was 4 hours. Find the average speed on level road of the entire trip was 310 miles

The average speed on level road is 65 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed on the winding road be x mph

So the speed on the straight road will be x +20 mph

Mathematically, distance = speed * time

Distance on level road will be;

(x + 20)2

Distance on winding road will be;

x* 4 = 4x

Thus, we have;

2(x + 20) + 4x = 310

2x + 40 + 4x = 310

6x + 40 = 310

6x = 310 - 40

6x = 270

x = 270/6

x = 45 mph

The average speed on the level road is x + 20

That will be 45 + 20 = 65 mph
