a student is moving from home to school at 20 km /h and on his return from school to home at 30 km/h. calculate the average speed of the student .
Answers
Explanation:
let the distance be s
and since speed X time =distance
v x t= s
t=s/t
Average speed = total distance/total time
distance for going and coming from school will be s+s= 2s
hope it helps.

Explanation:
Here is your answer✍
Let the distance between the school and house be x km
speed of the boy from home to school = 20km/hr
Using formula Time taken = distance / speed
so, time taken = x/20hrs
speed of the boy from school to home = 30km/hr
so, time taken = x/30hrs
Total time = x/20 + x/30
= 5x/60 = x/12
= x/12hrs
Total distance = x+x = 2x
= 2x km
Average speed = Total distance/Total Time
= 2x / (x/12)
=2x ÷ x/12
= 2x × 12/x
= 2 × 12
= 24km/hr
Therefore the average speed of the boy is 24km/hr
Hope this will help you
