Traffic signals at each intersection on a main road all change on the same 2-minute cycle. A taxi driver khows that it is exactly 3.5 km from one intersection to the next. Without breaking the 50km/h speed limit, what is the highest average speed, in kilometres per hour, he can travel to get to each intersection as it just changs to green?

    It's a good problem :((

    So we have the time is \(\dfrac{2}{60}\left(hour\right)=\dfrac{1}{30}\)

    So we have the speed to get to each intersection right on the first time is : \(\dfrac{3,5}{x}=\dfrac{1}{30}\Rightarrow x=105\) (kilometres per hour).

    So he can travel to get to each intersection at the third time as it just changes to green at the speed of \(\dfrac{105}{3}=35\) (kilometres per hour)

    That's what I think :))

    It's a good problem :((

    So we have the time is 260(hour)=130

    So we have the speed to get to each intersection right on the first time is : 3,5x=130⇒x=105

     (kilometres per hour).

    So he can travel to get to each intersection at the third time as it just changes to green at the speed of 1053=35

     (kilometres per hour)
