Sina went 40 km at 60 km/hr
+40+=+60%2At+
+t+=+2%2F3+ hr
She was 15 min late for 11:15 appointment,
so she arrived at 11:30
If she left at 10:40, it will take her 35 minutes
to get there at 11:15
Let s be her average speed
+40+=+s%2A%2835%2F60%29+
+35s+=+40%2A60+
+35s+=+2400+
+s+=+68.57+ km/hr average speed
