Answer:

Average speed = 24 km/h

Explanation:

  • Let the distance be x.

Given the following data;

Uniform speed A = 30 km/h

Uniform speed B = 20 km/h

To find the average speed;

Mathematically, the average speed of an object is given by the formula;

[tex] Average \; speed = \frac {total \; distance}{total \; time} [/tex] ..... equation 1

Total time = TA + TB

[tex] T_{A} = \frac {x}{30} [/tex]

[tex] T_{B} = \frac {x}{20} [/tex]

[tex] Total \; time = \frac {x}{30} + \frac {x}{20} [/tex]

[tex] Total \; time = \frac {5x}{60} [/tex]

Total distance = x + x

Total distance = 2x

Substituting the values into equation 1;

[tex] Average \; speed = \frac {2x}{\frac {5x}{60}} [/tex]

[tex] Average \; speed = \frac {2x*60}{5x} [/tex]

[tex] Average \; speed = \frac {120}{5} [/tex]

Average speed = 24 km/h
