  1. Distance made at the last 4hours=4*30=120miles

    Distance made at the dust storm=295-120=175miles

    Dust storm speed =175/3=58.333333 miles per hoyr


  2. 25 mph.

    Let v = speed during dust storm

    3v + 4(v+30) = 295

    7v + 120 = 295

    7v = 175

    v = 25

  3. Figure it out yourself, you don't need people to do your homework for you.
