Question

a pilot took 2 hours to fly the first 1600 km of his journey . he then took another 3 hours to travel the remaining 2250km. what was his average speed for the whole journey? express your answer in km/hr.

Answer 1

Answer:

time taken to fly 1600 km = 2 hrs

time taken to fly 2250 km = 3 hrs

total distance = ( 1600 + 2250) = 3850 km

total time = ( 2 + 3 ) = 5 hrs

average speed = total distance/ total time taken

= 3850/5

Ans = 770 km/hr
