Question 260797: A car travels up a hill at a constant speed of 36 km/h and returns down the hill at a constant speed of 70 km/h. Calculate the average speed (in km/h) for the round trip.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hello,
To find the average of anything, we first add everything up and divide it by the number of items. For example:
36+70=106 Then we divide the total by 2 to give us:
53km/h
Make sense?
