A travels 15 km with a speed of 30 km/h. He travels another 25 km with a speed of 10 km/h. What is his average speed for the entire journey? |
$\frac{40}{3}$km/h $\frac{80}{3}$km/h 20 km/h 12 km/h |
$\frac{40}{3}$km/h |
Average Speed = \(\frac{Total\; Distance }{Total\; Time }\) Distance = Speed × Time Total distance = 15 + 25 = 40 km Total time = \(\frac{15 }{30 }\) + \(\frac{25 }{10 }\) = 3 hours Average speed = \(\frac{40 }{3 }\) km/h |
