Answer:
Average speed= 58.3 mi/hour
Step-by-step explanation:
The average speed is defined as the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken.
from A to B
distance= 100 miles
speed= 50 mi/h
speed= distance/time
time= distance/speed
time= 100/50
time= 2 hours
from B to C
distance= 100 miles
speed= 70 mi/h
speed= distance/time
time= distance/speed
time= 100/70
time= 10/7 hours
Average speed= total distance/total time
total distance= 200 mile
total time= 2+10/7= (14+10)/7= 24/7
Average speed= 200/24/7
Average speed= 200*7/24
Average speed= 1400/24
Average speed= 58.3 mi/hour
