A car averages 80km/h to the city. On the way back it averages 120km/h. What is the average speed of the whole trip?
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "Find the total time for the round trip.
\n" ); document.write( "d = r*t
\n" ); document.write( "t = d/r
\n" ); document.write( "t = d/80 + d/120
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Total distance = 2d
\n" ); document.write( "RT avg = 2d/t
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "RT avg = 2*80*120/(80 + 120)
\n" ); document.write( "= 96 km/hr
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
