Question:

A car travels the first half of a journey at a speed of 80 km/h and the next half of the journey at 100 km/h. What is the average speed of the car? [Give your answer correct to 2 places of decimal.]

Options:

92.29 km/h

88.89 km/h

82.28 km/h

45.41 km/h

Correct Answer:

88.89 km/h

Explanation:

Average speed = \(\frac{ 2 × S1 × S2  }{S1 + S2 }\)

= \(\frac{ 2 × 80 ×100  }{80 + 100 }\)

= \(\frac{ 16000  }{180 }\)

= 88 .89 km/h   ( approx)
