A car travels 100 km in the first two hours, stops for half an hour and then travels 200 km in the next four hours. Find the average speed of the car



Answer :

AL2006
Average speed  =  (total distance) / (total time)

Total distance  =  100 km + 200 km  =  300 km

Total time  =  2 hrs (first part) + 1/2 hr (stop) + 4 hrs (second part) = 6.5 hrs

Average speed  =  300 / 6.5  =  46.154 km/hr (rounded)
