Mary starts from her house, walks 80 meters south, and stops to chat with her aunt on the sidewalk. After chatting for a few minutes, she walks 125 meters to the west to meet a friend and then walks 45 meters north with her friend to a cafe for lunch. Overall, she takes 10 minutes to do all this. What is Mary’s average speed?

Respuesta :

The average speed will be:
Total distance travelled divided by time taken
Total distance (in metres)= 80+125+45=250
Total time (minutes) =10
250/10
=25
Thus Mary's average speed is 25 metres per minute.

Answer:

Total distance (in metres)= 80+125+45=250
