Pls answer it immediately.. i'll mark as

Average = a + b + c + d ... / # of values

70 km/h = 50 km/h + x / 2

140 km/h = 50 km/h + x

90 km/h = x

Therefore, the train would have to travel 90 km/h the second half of its journey. The standard average formula I used to solve this ONLY works when you're dealing with equal weights (Each of the two parts of the journal is 50%). If you are faced with a problem in which the parts of the journey are not equal, you will have to use the formula for weighted average, which would be:

Average = x₁y₁ + x₂y₂ + x₃y₃ + ...

In which x = value and y = relative weight (percentage -> decimal)

You can still use this formula to solve your problem.

70 km/h = (50km/h)(0.50)+ x(0.50)

140 km/h = 50 km/h + x

90 km/h = x

the only real purpose of sputnik 1 was to beat the us into space. we were getting close to launching a useful satellite, explorer 1 - which launched on january 31, 1958. the ussr had to beat that, so they launched sputnik 1 on october 4, 19
