Ali while driving to school computes the average speed for his trip to be 20km/hr on his return trip along the same route. There is less traffic and average speed is 30km/hr. What is the average speed for Ali's trip?

Sagot :

Answer:

25 km/hr

Explanation:

Since Ali's average speed for his trip to school is u = 20 km/hr and his average speed for the return trip to back home from school is v = 30 km/hr, thus his total average speed for the journey is thus V = (initial average speed + final average speed)/2 = (u + v)/2

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

V = (u + v)/2

V = (20  km/hr + 30 km/hr)/2

V = 50 km/hr/2

V = 25 km/hr

So, the average speed for Ali's trip is 25 km/hr
