# Average

What is the average speed of the car, where half of the distance covered passed at speed 66 km/h and the other half at 86 km/h.

Result

v =  74.68 km/h

#### Solution:

$t = \dfrac{s}{2v_1}+\dfrac{s}{2v_2} \ \\ \ \\ v = \dfrac{s}{t} = \dfrac{s}{\dfrac{s}{2v_1}+\dfrac{s}{2v_2}} \ \\ \ \\ v = \dfrac{2v_1v_2}{v_1+v_2} \ \\ v = \dfrac{2 \cdot 66 \cdot 86 }{ 66+86} = 74.68 \ \text{km/h}$

Our examples were largely sent or created by pupils and students themselves. Therefore, we would be pleased if you could send us any errors you found, spelling mistakes, or rephasing the example. Thank you!
