Question

Mo travels 30 miles in 45

minutes.
He then travels 18 miles in 30
minutes.
Calculate his average speed.

Answer 1

38.4 miles per hour

Explanation:

30 miles in 45 minutes

18 miles in 30 minutes

Average speed = total distance / total time

= (30+18) / ( 45 min + 30 min)

= 48 miles / ( 1.25 hr ) = 38.4 miles per hour
