Ayaan travels 90 miles at an average speed of 60 mph.
She then travels a further 40 miles.
The average speed for the entire journey is 59 mph.
Assuming Ayaan didn't stop, what was her average speed for the final 40 miles to 2 dp?

Answer :

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Speed = distance / time

Thereafter,

Distance :-

  • 90 miles + 40 miles = 130 miles

Time :-

  • 90 / 60 + 59 = 60.5 mph

Average Speed :-

  • 130 / 60.5 = 2.148
