14. John rides his motorcycle for 0.2 hours with a constant speed of 68 km/h and then foranother 13 minutes with a constant speed of 102 km/h. What is his average speed for thetotal trip?

Sagot :

We must calculate the weighted average as follows:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{68\cdot0.2+102\cdot\frac{13}{60}}{0.2+\frac{13}{60}} \\ \frac{13.6+22.1}{0.416}=85.68 \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the average speed is 85.68 km/h
