Answer:
35 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
As you might have learned in your physics class, the average speed of a car in mph is 50. You should write this down on some paper.
After writing it down, we need to look at what the problem is asking us, so we don't get confused. " How fast was he going on the way to the bookstore?"
This means that we need to calculate his mph speed on the way to the bookstore by subtracting something.
50 mph=Average
Alternate Route= -15
After you have written THAT down in your notes, you need to ask yourself,
"What is 50-15?"
Calculating 50-15 will make the "15 mph slower" show up and calculating that with the average will get you your answer.
50-15 is 35
