Velocity, you divide distance/time Hi my names bob.
The average speed for the entire trip is 9mph.
1/18
W/4 mph
No, speed can vary and one can still calculate the average speed of an entire trip. Average speed is equal to the change in distance divided by the change in time.
total distance divided by total time
Total distance divided by total time

You measure the entire and divide that by the total.
Find the distance of the race. Find the cyclist's start time. Find the cyclist's finish time. Elapsed time = Finish time - Start time. Average speed = Distance/Elapsed time.
The actual speed can change all the time. You can calculate the average speed by dividing the total distance traveled by the total time.

16 km is not a speed (average or otherwise), it is a distance. It is therefore impossible to answer this question.
Cycler's speed = 400/20 = 20 meters per second. Skier's speed = 1500/60 = 25 meters per second. The skier's average speed during his minute is 25% faster than the cyclist's average speed during his 20 seconds.
