Math Problem Statement
What is the average speed for the trip?
Solution
To calculate the average speed for the entire trip, we'll use the formula:
Step 1: Calculate the Total Distance
From the earlier calculation:
- First Segment: 36 km
- Second Segment: 23.75 km
- Third Segment: 35.87 km
Total distance:
Step 2: Calculate the Total Time
The total time includes both driving and the break:
- Driving Time: 88 minutes
- Break Time: 23 minutes
Total time:
Step 3: Calculate the Average Speed
Now, we can calculate the average speed:
