Average speed is always:
\n" ); document.write( "( total distance ) / ( total time )
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"s\" = her average speed for the last hr
\n" ); document.write( "Her total time was \"3\" hrs
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "For 1st 2 hrs:
\n" ); document.write( "distance = \"+85%2A2\"
\n" ); document.write( "distance = \"+170+\"
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "For next hr:
\n" ); document.write( "distance = \"+s%2A1+\"
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Average for the whole trip:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+75+=+%28+170+%2B+s+%29+%2F+3+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+225+=+170+%2B+s+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+s+=+55+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Her average speed for the last hr was 55 km/hr
