Question

pedro raced 96 kilometers from Perry to Medford and then idled back. if the round trip took 8 hours, what was Pedro's average speed in kilometers per hour?

Answer 1

Hello!

First you find how far he went

So he we 96 kilometers there and back

96 + 96 = 192

It took him 8 hours to go 192 kilometers

To find the average speed you divide these two

192/8 = 24

So his average speed was 24 kilometers an hour

The answer is 24

Hope this helps!
