Problem

It takes you $44 \mathrm{~min}$ to walk from home to the shop. If the distances are $A=0.9 \mathrm{~km}, \mathrm{~B}=0.6 \mathrm{~km}$, and $\mathrm{C}=0.7 \mathrm{~km}$ what was your average speed in $\mathrm{km} / \mathrm{h}$ ?

Solution

Step 1 :Calculate the total distance walked: \(A + B + C = 0.9 \text{ km} + 0.6 \text{ km} + 0.7 \text{ km} = 2.2 \text{ km}\)

Step 2 :Convert the time from minutes to hours: \(44 \text{ minutes} = \frac{44}{60} \text{ hours} = \frac{11}{15} \text{ hours}\)

Step 3 :Calculate the average speed by dividing the total distance by the total time: \(\frac{2.2 \text{ km}}{\frac{11}{15} \text{ hr}} = \boxed{3} \text{ km/hr}\)
