Talia is on a road trip with some friends. In the first 2 hours, they travel 100 miles. Then they hit traffic and go only 30 miles in the next hour. The last hour of their trip, they drive 75 miles.

Calculate the average speed of Talia’s car during the trip. Give your answer to the nearest whole number.

Since Speed, V = Distance/Time
Average speed = Total Distance/Total Time

From the given data, Total Distance = 100 + 30 + 75 miles
and Total Time = 2 + 1 + 1 hours

Average Speed = 205/4
Average Speed = 51.25 mph ( or 51mph to the nearest whole number)
