Given :
A cyclist travels 2 miles in 10 minutes and then a further 6 miles in 20 minutes without stopping.
To Find :
The cyclist's average speed in mph.
Solution :
We know, average speed is given by :
[tex]Average\ speed = \dfrac{Total\ distance\ covered}{Time \ taken}\\\\Average \ speed = \dfrac{2+6}{10+20}\ miles/min\\\\Average \ speed = 0.267\ miles/min[/tex]
Hence, this is the required solution.
