Hi

Where is this question from?

Please check if there is missing information such as how long Sam took to walk from A to B.

A logical answer would be Sam ----- 10 km/h and Tom ------- 6 km/h.

Hi

As in any Speed question, start with a simple diagram.

In 1h, Mrs Leong covered 10 km less than Mr Leong.

In 30 minutes, Mrs Leong covered 5km less than Mr Leong.

1unit (Mrs Leong) + 1 unit + 5 (Mr Leong) ------ 95

1 unit ------- 45

Mrs Leong travelled 45 km

3400 – 250 ------- 3150

20+50 ------- 70

3150/70 --------- 45(number of 20 cents coins)
