If the total distance of a journey is 120 km If one goes by
If the total distance of a journey is 120 km .If one goes by 60 kmph and comes back at 40kmph what is the average speed during the journey?
Solution
It is not (60+40)/2=50
 Why? because the times at each speed are different.
 It will be close to 50 though since the difference in times is so small.
 60*x=120
 40*y=120
 x=2 hrs
 y=3 hrs
 total distance over total time
 total time is 5 hours
 120+120=240 total distance
 240/5=48 kph
