The answer is
Is 12.4
At double the speed, it's presumable that the five hours less is half of the time the trip took in the one direction - hence, the first trip took 10 hours. To travel 280 miles in ten hours, the average speed would be 28 MPH, and to halve that on the return trip, the average speed would be 56 MPH
If you divide the distance of your trip by the total time it took to make the trip, you calculate the average speed. That includes all the time you're stuck in traffic, gassing the car, and stopping to eat.
Average Speed is the distance traveled divided by the time it took to travel that distance.In this case, the distance traveled is 240 km, and the time is 3hrs.You do the calculation. (your answer will have the unit km/hr)
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.
Take the distance in miles, and divide it by the time, in hours, it took to drive there.

Average speed = (distance traveled) / (time interval) = (35,118 - 34,627) / 8 = 491/8 = 61.375 km/hr.

If it averaged 6 kph on the trip back and took 4 hours, the distance of one way was 24 kilometers. If the trip there took three hours, 24 kilometers / 3 hours= 8 kph
Average Speed is the distance traveled divided by the time it took to travel that distance.In this case, the distance traveled is 240 km, and the time is 3hrs.You do the calculation. (your answer will have the unit km/hr)
by jumping
No, the average speed will always be between the minimum and maximum speeds.
Average speed = (distance traveled) divided by (time for the trip).
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.
Take the distance in miles, and divide it by the time, in hours, it took to drive there.
If only total distance and total time are considered, the speed calculated (total distance / total time) is the average speed of the entire trip.
