Answer:

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

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

The same would be considered
