John went on a bike ride to the store 4 miles away. If it took John 3 1/0 of an hour to get there and 12 of an hour to get back, what was his average rate of speed (miles per hour) for the entire trip?

His average rate of speed for the entire trip is 10 miles/hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that John went on a bike ride to the store 4 miles away. If it took John 3/10 of an hour to get there and 1/2 of an hour to get back.

And we have to find his average rate of speed (miles per hour) for the entire trip.

As we know that the Distance-Speed-Time formula is given by;

Here, the distance for the entire trip = 8 miles (4 miles for reaching store and 4 miles for returning back)

The time taken for the entire trip = of an hour to reach the store and an hour to get back.    

So, the average rate of speed for the entire trip =

                             =  

                             =    =  10 miles per hour

Hence, his average rate of speed for the entire trip is 10 miles/hour.

the answer is d
