First, we need to calculate the man's speed during his journey from point X to point V.
Distance = 10¹/2 km
Time = 3 hours
Speed = Distance / Time
Speed = 10.5 km / 3 hours
Speed = 3.5 km/h
Now, we need to calculate the man's speed during his return journey from point V to point X.
Time = 4 hours
Speed = Distance / Time
Speed = 10.5 km / 4 hours
Speed = 2.625 km/h
To find the man's average speed for the entire journey, we calculate the total distance traveled and the total time taken.
Total distance = 10.5 km + 10.5 km = 21 km
Total time = 3 hours + 4 hours = 7 hours
Average speed = Total distance / Total time
Average speed = 21 km / 7 hours
Average speed = 3 km/h
Therefore, the man's average speed for the entire journey is 3 km/h.
A man spent 3 hours to walk from a point X to another point V, 10¹/2km apart. If his return journey took 4 hours, find his average speed for the entire Journey
