A horse traveled at a constant speed of ^@30 \space km/h ^@ for | Math Question and Answer

Answer:

$24 \space km/h$

Step by Step Explanation:

Given, speed for the initial $2$ hours $= 30 \space km/h$
Speed for the remaining $3$ hours $= 20 \space km/h$
So, the total time of the journey $= 2 + 3 = 5$ hours
Average speed can be found by using the formula below:
Average speed $=$ Total distance $\div$ Total time
Distance covered in the initial $2$ hours $= 2 \times 30$

$= 60 \space km.$

Distance covered in the remaining $3$ hours $= 3 \times 20$

$= 60 \space km. \space\space\space\space$

Total distance covered $= 60 + 60$

$= 120 \space km.$
Average speed $= 120 \div 5$

$= 24 \space km/h.$
Hence, the average speed of the horse was $24 \space km/h$ .

Distance covered in the initial $2$ hours	$= 2 \times 30$
	$= 60 \space km.$

Distance covered in the remaining $3$ hours	$= 3 \times 20$
	$= 60 \space km. \space\space\space\space$

Total distance covered	$= 60 + 60$
	$= 120 \space km.$

Average speed	$= 120 \div 5$
	$= 24 \space km/h.$
