Answer:
The average speed of Boojho is 7.2km/hour.
Explanation:
The formula for finding average speed is = Total distance/Total speed
Total distance = 3+3 = 6km ( up and down)
Total time = 30 +20 minutes = 50/60 hours ( up and down)
So, the average speed is =( 6*60)/50 = 36/5 = 7.2 km/hour( or 2m /sec).
The average speed of Boojho is 7.2km/hour.
