Nicki rides her bike at a constant speed for 6 km. That part of her ride takes her 1 hour. She then rides her bike at a constant speed for another 9 km. That part of her trip takes her 2 hours. What is her average speed?

Respuesta :

The average speed of the Nicki would be 5 km/hr

What is speed?

The total distance covered by any object per unit of time is known as speed. It depends only on the magnitude of the moving object. The unit of speed is meter/second. The generally considered unit for speed is a meter per second.

The mathematical expression for speed is given by

average speed = total distance /Total time

As given in the problem Nicki rides her bike at a constant speed for 6 km. That part of her ride takes her 1 hour. She then rides her bike at a constant speed for another 9 km. That part of her trip takes her 2 hours,

Total distance traveled by the Nicki = 6+9

                                                            =15 km

The total time = 1 + 2

                       =3 hours

Average speed = 15/3

                          =5 km/hr

Thus, her average speed comes out to be 5 km/hr.
