Average speed is (change in distance)/(change in time)
\n" ); document.write( "The distance is 440 miles
\n" ); document.write( "The first part of the trip took 220/70 hours or 3.143 hours
\n" ); document.write( "The second part of the trip took 220/58 hours or 3.793 hours
\n" ); document.write( "Ave. Speed = 440 / (3.143 + 3.793)
\n" ); document.write( "Ave. Speed = 440/6.936
\n" ); document.write( "Ave. Speed = 63.436 miles per hour
\n" ); document.write( "
