What is average speed?

The average speed of an object is the ratio of total distance traveled by the object to

Average speed = total distance / total time of motion

Total time of motion = total distance / average speed

total time = (18.5 + 5.5) / (14.5)

total time = 1.66 hours

time taken during the bicycle ride

t1 = 18.5 / 19.1

t1 = 0.97 hour

time taken during the run

t2 = 1.66 hr - 0.97 hr

t2 = 0.69 hr

Average speed during the run

v = 5.5 miles /0.69 hr

v = 7.97 mph

Thus, the average speed you must run is 7.97 mph.
