Kinley hiked to Taktsang Monastery. It took him 3 hours to climb up and 2 hours to come down. If the total distance (up and down) is 12 km, what was his average speed for the whole trip?
Solution:
-
Total distance = 12 km
-
Total time = 3 hours (up) + 2 hours (down) = 5 hours
-
Average speed = Total distance ÷ Total time = 12 ÷ 5 = 2.4 km/h
Answer: Kinley’s average speed was 2.4 km/h
