Joseph traveled from Boston to Framingham at 50 mph and then back to Boston at 40 mph, What was Joseph average speed on the round trip? (its not 45mph just to let you know)

Respuesta :

Answer:

44.44 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are given 50 from the start, and 40 at the end, we will add 50 and 40.

50 + 40 = 90

Then, Divide the result by 2.

90 ÷ 2 = 45

Here is the tricky part: we are not done!

Don't be mistaken by the question. Some people may think the answer is 45mph because that is what it is rounded up, however, the question did not ask for the answer rounded up.

This is a round trip, so reduce this to the nearest value in both tenths and units. Hence, it would be 44.44.
