You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Average speed is always ( total distance traveled ) / ( total time )
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+d+\" = total distance traveled
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+2t+\" = total time
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Half the time is spent traveling at \"+50+\" km/hr
\n" ); document.write( "\"+d%5B1%5D+=+50t+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Half the time is spent traveling at \"+82+\" km/hr
\n" ); document.write( "\"+d%5B2%5D+=+82t+\"
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"+d+=+d%5B1%5D+%2B+d%5B2%5D+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+d+=+50t+%2B+82t+\"
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "The average speed is
\n" ); document.write( "\"+d+%2F+%28+2t+%29+=+%28+50t+%2B+82t+%29+%2F+%28+2t+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "The \"t\"'s cancel
\n" ); document.write( "Average speed = 132 / 2
\n" ); document.write( "Average speed = 66 km/hr\r
