She drove 16 km in 20 min, walked 4 km in 1 h, then rode a bus that traveled 10 km in 10 min. Calculate her average speed in kilometers per hour. Show your work. CRCT Preparation

21. < BackNext >PreviewMain Chapter 5 10. Answer - Full credit answers should include the following points: Juanita’s average speed is 20 km/h. The total distance traveled is 30 km; the total time is 90 min (20 min 1 60 min 1 10 min), or 1.5 h. Dividing the total distance by the total time (30 km 4 1.5 h), gives the average speed (20 km/h).

23. < BackNext >PreviewMain Chapter 5 11. Answer - Full credit answers should include the following points: Gravitational force depends on the mass of objects and the distance between those objects. Gravitational force increases as the mass of one or both of the objects increases. Gravitational force decreases as the distance between the objects increases. CRCT Preparation
