A truck driver travels 55 km in 1 hour. He then drives a speed of 35km/hr for 2 hrs. Next, he drives 175 km in 3 hrs. What was his average speed?

Should i add up the total distance and total time taken then solve?

Yes.

(55 + 70 + 175)/(1 + 2 + 3) = 50 km/h

35+35 is 70 bc he’s traveling at 35km/h for 2 hours

50 KM/H

In 2 hour 35km/h

so 2 × 35 = 70
the rule of average speed is total distance ÷ total time
We will put 55 + 70 + 175 ÷ 1 + 2 + 3 = 50
So the answer is 50km/h

Yes, to find the average speed, you need to divide the total distance traveled by the total time taken. In this case, the truck driver traveled a total distance of 55 km + 35 km * 2 + 175 km = 300 km in a total time of 1 hour + 2 hours + 3 hours = 6 hours.

To calculate the average speed, divide the total distance (300 km) by the total time (6 hours):

Average speed = Total distance / Total time
= 300 km / 6 hours
= 50 km/hr

Therefore, the average speed of the truck driver for the entire trip was 50 km/hr.

From were did u get the 70

From where did the 70 come?
