The distance between Party A and Party B is 60km.

The average speed of the car in the whole journey?


(1) 60× 2/3 ÷ 2.5
=40 ÷ 2.5
=16(km/h)
(2)60÷(60× 1/3 ÷40+2.5)
=60÷(20÷40+2.5)
=60÷(0.5+2.5)
=60÷3
=20km/h
A: the average speed of the car in the second third of the distance is 16km / h, and the average speed of the car in the whole distance is 20km / h
