Question (3 points) Larry recorded his time as he ran. What was his average speed from hour 2 to hour 4? What was his average speed from hour 4 to hour 7? Did he speed up, slow down, or stay the same? Skip to navigation

Answer 1

To determine Larry's average speed from hour 2 to hour 4 and from hour 4 to hour 7, we need his recorded distances for those specific time intervals.

1. Average Speed from Hour 2 to Hour 4:

   • Calculate the distance covered between hour 2 and hour 4.
   • The formula for average speed is:
     \[ \text{Average Speed} = \frac{\text{Total Distance}}{\text{Total Time}} \]

2. Average Speed from Hour 4 to Hour 7:

   • Calculate the distance covered between hour 4 and hour 7 using the same formula.

3. Comparison:

   • Compare the average speeds calculated for the two intervals. If the average speed from hour 4 to hour 7 is greater, he sped up; if it's less, he slowed down; if they're equal, he stayed the same.

Please provide the recorded distances, and we can calculate the average speeds and determine whether Larry sped up, slowed down, or stayed the same.
