Answer:

Average speed = 24 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Let the distance be x.

Given the following data;

Uniform speed A = 30 km/h

Uniform speed B = 20 km/h

To find the average speed;

Mathematically, the average speed of an object is given by the formula;


Average \; speed = \frac {total \; distance}{total \; time} ..... equation 1

Total time = TA + TB


T_(A) = \frac {x}{30}


T_(B) = \frac {x}{20}


Total \; time = \frac {x}{30} + \frac {x}{20}


Total \; time = \frac {5x}{60}

Total distance = x + x

Total distance = 2x

Substituting the values into equation 1;


Average \; speed = \frac {2x}{\frac {5x}{60}}


Average \; speed = \frac {2x*60}{5x}


Average \; speed = \frac {120}{5}

Average speed = 24 km/h
