Question

A car travels 70 km in two hours 104 km in the next 1.5 hours and then 79 km in two hours before reaching its destination what was the cars average speed?

Answer 1

Average speed = (total distance) / (total time)

Total distance = (70km + 104km + 79km) = 253 km

Total time = (2hr + 1.5hr + 2hr) = 5.5 hrs

Average speed = (253 km) / (5.5 hrs)

Average speed = 46 km/hr
