I see at least THREE trips in this problem.

To which of the three trips would you like to estimate the speed ?

Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

Average speed is the total distance divided by the total elapsed time. The total distance is there and back, so two times the given distance, and the total elapsed time is the total number of days to get there and back. At this point your answer is in kilometers per day. If you want kilometers per hour, divide your result by 24.
