Question

Peter left his home in Chicago and drove to a town a few hours away. On the way there, he drove 40 mph due to traffic, but on the way back home, he drove 60 mph. What was his average speed?

Answer 1

Answer:

50 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate averages you add up all the items and divide by the total number of items there is.In this problem were 2 items so you divide it by 2

Add the two numbers

40+60=100

now just divide by 2 because there was 2 drives giving you 50 mph

Hope this helps!
