What is average speed ?

Average speed is s the total distance traveled by the object in a particular time interval.

Average speed [tex]=\frac{Total\ Distance}{Total\ Time}[/tex]

We have,

Distance from Boston to Hyannis [tex]=70[/tex] miles

Time from Boston to Hyannis [tex]=1\ hr\ and \ 45\ minutes = 105\ minutes[/tex]

Distance from Hyannis to Dennisport [tex]=10[/tex] miles

Time from Hyannis to Dennisport [tex]=30[/tex] minutes

So,

Total distance travelled [tex]=70+10=80[/tex] miles

Total time taken [tex]=105+30=135\ minutes[/tex]

                             [tex]= \frac{135}{60} \ hours= \frac{9}{4}\ hours[/tex]

So,

Average speed on his was from Hyannis to Dennisport [tex]= \frac{10}{\frac{30}{60} }[/tex]

                                                                                            [tex]=\frac{60}{3}=20[/tex] miles per hour

And,

Average speed on his trip from Boston to Dennisport [tex]=\frac{80}{\frac{9}{4} }[/tex]

                                                                                          [tex]=35\frac{5}{9}[/tex] miles per hour

Hence, we can say that Justin’s average speed on his was from Hyannis to Dennisport will be [tex]2[/tex]miles per hour and average speed on his trip from Boston to Dennisport will be [tex]35\frac{5}{9}[/tex] miles per hour.
