The average speed is 40 km/h.
What is Average speed?
The average speed of a body is equal to the total distance covered, divided by the total time taken. The formula for average speed is given as:
Average Speed Formula:
Average Speed = Total distance covered ÷ Total time taken
Example:
sing the average speed formula, find the average speed of Sam, who covers the first 200 kilometers in 4 hours and the next 160 kilometers in another 4 hours.
Solution:
To find the average speed we need the total distance and the total time.
Total distance covered by Sam = 200Km + 160 km = 360 km
Total time taken by Sam = 4 hour + 4 hour = 8 hour
Average Speed = Total distance covered ÷ Total time taken
Average Speed = 360 ÷ 8 = 45km/hr
Given:
d1= 60 km
d2= 30
d3 = 60
Total Distance : 1*60 +60=120
Total time taken = 1+ 60/30= 1+2=3
Now,
average speed = total distance/ total time taken
= 120/3
= 40 kmph
