Answer:

130 km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Average Speed = Total Distance / Total Time.

Let us just make up 2 distances from a time

A: 55 km/hour for 2 hours = 110 km

B: 75 km/hour for 2 hours = 150 km

Total Distance = 260 km

Total Time = 2 hours.

Average Speed = 260 / 2 = 130 km/hr

Now let's try it again. If we get a different answer, then the problem is unanswerable.

A: 55 km/hr  for 3 hours = 165 km

B: 75 km/hr for 3 hours = 225 km

Total distance  = 390 km

Total time = 3 hours

Average speed = 390 / 3 = 130 which is the same answer we got before.
