You can put this solution on YOUR website! Jennifer drives to her friends house 20km away. There is no direct route so she travels 15km through the city at 50km/h and 15km on the highway at 100km/h. The trip takes 27minutes. Find Jennifer's average speed.
------------
Avg speed = 2*50*100/(50+100)
= 200/3 km/hr
--------------
Or, she went 30 km in 27 minutes
r = d/t = 30/27 km/min
= 200/3 km/hr
