A car travels from calabar to Enugu, a distance of P km with an average speed of U km per hour and continues to benin, a distance of Q km, with an average speed of Wkm per hour. Find its average speed from Calabar to Benin
\(\frac{(p + q)}{pw + qu}\)
\(\frac{uw(p + q)}{pw + qu}\)
\(\frac{uw(p + q)}{pw}\)
\(\frac{uw}{pw + qu}\)
Correct answer is B
Average speed = \(\frac{total Distance}{Total Time}\)
from Calabar to Enugu in time t1, hence
t1 = \(\frac{P}{U}\) also from Enugu to Benin
t2 \(\frac{q}{w}\)
Av. speed = \(\frac{p + q}{t_1 + t_2}
= p + q * \frac{p}{u} + \frac{q}{w}\)
= p + q x \(\frac{uw}{pw + qu}\)
= \(\frac{uw(p + q)}{pw + qu}\)
