Answer:
30.4 km/hr
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given;
- Speed in the first 2 hours as 25 km/hr
- Speed in the next 3 hours as 34 km/hr
We are required to determine the average velocity in km/hr
- To get the average velocity we divide total distance by total time.
- Thus, we need to determine the total distance
Distance = Speed × time
Distance covered in the first 2 hours;
= 25 km/hr × 2 hours
= 50 km
Distance in the next 3 hours
= 34 km/hr × 3 hours
= 102 km
Therefore, total distance = 50 km + 102 km
= 152 km
Total time = 2 hrs + 3 hrs
= 5 hours
Therefore;
Average speed = 152 km ÷ 5 hours
= 30.4 km/hr
Thus, the average speed is 30.4 km/hr
