Question

a car travels the first 15 km of the journey at an average speed 60km/h and the remaining 40 km at an average speed of 30 km/h find the average speed of the whole journey

Answer 1

Answer:

the average speed of the whole journey is 45 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the average speed of the whole journey is shown below:

Average speed is

= (Speed 1 + speed 2) ÷ 2

= (60 km/h + 30 km/h) ÷ 2

= 90 km/h ÷ 2

= 45 km/h

Hence, the average speed of the whole journey is 45 km/h

We simply ignored the distance as it is not relevant for the given situation
