Connor traveled from home to a country town.
The 130-kilometer drive took 1 hour 30 minutes.
He returned home by the same route.
The return drive took 1 hour 45 minutes.
What was Connor' average speed for the whole journey?
:
Av speed = total dist/total time
130 + 130 = 260 km
1.5 + 1.75 = 3.25 hr (change min to hrs)
:
s = 260/3.25
s = 80 km/hr for the whole journey
