Calculate Average Speed from Multiple Journeys: 0-100 km/h Data Set

Question

What is the average speed according to the data?

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Let's first remind ourselves of the formula for finding velocity:

V=xt V=\frac{x}{t}

x x = distance
t t = time
V V = velocity

Then substitute the data into the formula:

V=210+40+0+2503+1+2+2.5 V=\frac{210+40+0+250}{3+1+2+2.5}

Calculate accordingly to get:

V=5008.5=58.82 V=\frac{500}{8.5}=58.82

Therefore, the average velocity is 58.82.

Answer

58.82....
