Question 1143585
.
<pre>

The average speed for the entire journey is  {{{Total_distance/Total_time}}}.


Total distance = 3*55 + 2*65 = 295 miles.


Total time = 3 + 2 = 5 hours.


You are now in position to answer the question:


    the average speed for the entire journey is  {{{295/5}}} = 59 miles per hour.



Or simply  {{{(3*55 + 2*65)/(3+5)}}} = 59 mph,  if you want the solution in one line.
