The average speed of his trip is = 12 mile/ hour

The total distance covered by the driver = 240 miles

The rate at which he traveled = 12 miles per hour

Therefore, the time he used to cover his distance

= 240/12

= 20 hrs

But average speed = distance/ time

= 240/ 20

= 12 miles/ hour

Therefore, the average speed of his trip is = 12 mile/ hour
