A bus travels for 2 hrs at 60 kph and another 3 hrs at 70 kph. What is its average speed?
Added by Ismael R.
Step 1
The bus travelled for 2 hours at 60 kph, which is a distance of 2*60 = 120 km. Then, it travelled for 3 hours at 70 kph, which is a distance of 3*70 = 210 km. So, the total distance travelled is 120 + 210 = 330 km. Show more…
