Question

Mr. Smith drove for 45 minutes at a speed of 40 km/h. He stopped for 15 minutes for a coffee break and then he drove for 2 hours at a speed of 75 km/h. What was his average speed for the entire journey?

Answer 1

60 km/h

Explanation:

Average speed is total distance over total time.

Total distance: 30 + 0 + 150 = 180 km.

Total time: 0.75 + 0.25 + 2 = 3 hrs.

180/3 = 60/1
