13. Kate cycles the first 350 km of a 470-km journey
at a certain average speed and the remaining
distance at an average speed that is 15 km/h
less than that for the first part of the journey.

Answer:

Time Taken for 1st Part of Journey = 350 / x = 350/x hrs and

Time Taken for the 2nd part = (470-350) / (x-15) = 120 / (x-15) hrs

Since time taken for both the journeys, therefore,

350 / x = 120 / (x-15)

350(x-15) = 120x

350x-5250 = 120x

350x-120x = 5250

230x = 5250

x = 5250/230

x = 525/23 = 22.83 km/hrs approx. be the average speed for 1st journey thus x-15 = 22.83-15 = 7.83 km/hr is the average speed for the 2nd journey and hence this is the answer.
