Question 311659: A car travels up a hill at a constant speed of 35 km/h and returns down the hill at a constant speed of 67 km/h. Calculate the average speed (in km/h) for the round trip. Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! A car travels up a hill at a constant speed of 35 km/h and returns down the hill at a constant speed of 67 km/h. Calculate the average speed (in km/h) for the round trip.
-------------------------------
UP DATA:
rate = 35 km/h ; time = x hrs ; distance = 35x km
----------------
Down DATA:
rate = 67 km/h ; time = y hrs ; distance = 67y km
------------------------------
Average speed = (total distance)/(total time)
---
Ave speed = (35x+67y)/(x+y) km/h
