Tori Tapia · Answer 1

41.05

Step-by-step explanation:

30*65*2 / (65+30)

Cailyn Sellers · Answer 2

41.05 mile per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

let distance of one leg be x

1st leg time: x/30

2nd leg time: x/65

total travel time = x/30 + x/65

total distance traveled = x + x = 2x

average speed = distance / time

= 2x / (x/30 + x/65)

= 2 / (1/30 + 1/65)

= 41.05 mile per hour
