Av. Speed = (total distance travelled÷total time taken)
Now coming to this question,
Time taken in first 40km=(40÷80) =1/2 hour
Time taken to travel next 40km=(40÷40) =1 hour
Now total time taken to travel 80km= 1/2+1 = 1.5hours,
According to formula mentioned above,
Av. Speed = 80/1.5 = 53.33km/h.
Answer:
[tex]\huge\red{Answer}[/tex]
The total distance travelled is 80 km.
Half distance (40 km) is travelled at 80 km/h and the remaining half distance (40km) is travelled at 40 km/h.
Time used:
Formula : t=d/v
t=40/80=0.5 hour or 1/2 hour
t=40/40=1 hour
Total time taken = 1.5 hour
Now,
Speed = distance/time = 80/1.5 = 53.33 km/h
Answer : 53.33 km/h
