Why is the average speed for a round trip covering the same distance but traveled at different speeds
not equal to the sum of the two speeds divided by two?
Speed on the way there
km/h
Speed on the way back
km/h
Distance
km
Speed on the way there km/hSpeed on the way back km/h(Repost)
Average Speed km/hIs that correct?
The correct answer is km/h
Time taken to get there TimeTime spent on the way home Time
Calculation: One-way km × 2 ÷(  Time + Time ) =  km/h
Round-trip distance ÷ (outbound travel time + return travel time) = speed
