Answer:

The average speed of the entire trip is 8.5 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed = Total  Distance / Total Time

So we have to find the total distance and the total time taken .

1) From Gujranwala to Daska

speed= 25miles/hour           distance = 15miles

Time taken = distance / speed

                   = 15/25= 0.6 hours

2)  From Daska to Sialkot

speed= 40miles/hour           distance = 15miles

Time taken = distance / speed

                   = 40/15= 2.67 hours

3 ) From  Sialkot to Daska

speed= 30miles/hour           distance = 15miles

Time taken = distance / speed

                   = 30/15= 2 hours

The total distance traveled to three places is = 15+ 15+15= 45miles

The Total time taken is = 0.6+ 2.67+ 2= 5.267=5.3 hours

Speed = Total  Distance / Total Time

Speed= 45/ 5.3

          = 8.49=8.5 miles per hour

The average speed of the entire trip is 8.5 miles per hour.
