Answer:
The average speed is 1.98 mile per hour.
Explanation:
you traveled one mile at a speed of 100 miles per hour
So, the distance travelled by you is 1 mile
The speed is given by,
Speed = distance/ time
time = distance / speed
time = 1 / 100
time = 0.01 hour
Now next mile you travel at speed 1 mile per hour.
The speed is given by,
Speed = distance/ time
time = distance / speed
time = 1 / 1
time = 1 hour
Total distance = 1 mile + 1 mile = 2 mile
Total time = 1 hour + 0.01 hour = 1.01 hour
Average speed is given by,
Average speed = [tex]\frac{total distance}{total time}[/tex]
Average speed = [tex]\frac{2}{1.01}[/tex]
Average speed = 1.98 mile per hour
The average speed is 1.98 mile per hour.
