Question

Marissa drives from her house to work at an avg speed of 40mph. She drives home sameroute at 60mph. Entire round trip is 45 minutes, what is her avgspeed in mph?

Answer 1

50 mph is correct. The 45 minute round trip is actually useless information in answering this question. You can divide 60+40 by 2 or in this case, when you only have 2 numbers to look at, you can find the median and the median will be the same as the mean. Unless you’re very comfortable with finding averages, I wouldn’t suggest calculating this by the median, but that is what I did because I’m very familiar with the pattern of finding means.

Answer 2

Answer:

50mph

Step-by-step explanation:

to to find the mean you add 40 + 60. which equals 100 then divide by the amount a variables which is two.
