To find the average speed from Bechem to Kumasi, we first need to calculate the total distance traveled and the total time taken.
Distance from Bechem to Kumasi = 40 - 10 = 30 miles
Total time taken = 60 minutes (first leg of the journey) + 30 minutes (stop at Bechem) + 60 minutes (continuing journey to Kumasi) = 150 minutes
Average speed = Total distance / Total time
Average speed = 30 miles / (150 minutes / 60 minutes per hour)
Average speed = 30 miles / 2.5 hours
Average speed = 12 miles per hour
Therefore, the average speed from Bechem to Kumasi is 12 miles per hour.
