Jen traveled from Boston to Cape Cod at 60 mph. On her way back, the
traffic was bad and her return trip took 3 times as long. What was Jen's
average speed on the round trip?

Respuesta :

Jen's average speed on the round trip will be 20mph

Distance and sped

The formula for calculating speed is expressed as:

Speed = Distance/Time

d = st

Let the time taken on Jen's way to Cape Cod  be "t"

The time taken back to Boston will be t + 3

d1 = 60t
d2 = 60(t+3)

Since he traveled the same distance to and fro, hence;

Average speed = 60/3

Average speed  = 20mph

Hence Jen's average speed on the round trip will be 20mph
