Pls mark Brainilest
Step-by-step explanation:
Distance on way = 6 km
Distance both ways = 6 x 2 = 12 km
Find the time taken on the way there:
Time = Distance ÷ Speed
Time = 6/12 = 0.5 hour
Find the time needed on the return trip:
Time = Distance ÷ Speed
Time = 6 ÷ 10 = 0.6 hour
Find total time taken:
0.5 + 0.6 = 1.1 hour
Find the average speed:
Speed = Total Distance ÷ Total time
Speed = 12 ÷ 1.1 = 10.91 km/hour
Answer: 10.91 km/hour
