2 câu trả lời
The first 36km travel time is:
36 : 54 = 2/3 (hours)
Time left to go is:
96 : 72 = 4/3 (hours)
The average velocity of the entire distance is:
2/3 + 4/3 = 2 (hours)
The average speed of the entire trip is:
(36 + 96) : 2 = 66 (km/h)
Answer: 66 km/h
Time to go the first distance is:
`36: 54 = 2/3` hours
Time left to go the remaining distance is:
`96: 72 = 4 / 3` h
His average speed for the whole trip is:
`2/3 + 4/3 = 2` hours
Average speed of the whole trip is:
`(36 + 96): 2 = 66` (km / h)
