Walk and Ride A group of 10 students are on a field trip when their bus breaks down 40km away from the school. A teacher takes 5 of the students back to school in her car, travelling at an average speed of 40 km per hour. The other 5 students start walking towards the school at a steady speed of 4km per hour. The teacher drops the first 5 students at school, then immediately turns around and comes back for the others, again travelling at a steady speed of 40km per hour. How far have the students walked by the time the car reaches them?
Reflection on solutions What would have happened if the teacher had driven her car at a faster average speed? What would have happened if the children stopped walking after one hour?
