A car travelled the first third of a distance (x) at a speed of `10 km//h`, the second third at a speed of ` 20 km//h` and the last third at a speed of ` 60 km//h`. Determine the average speed of the car over the entire distance (x).

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the average speed of the car over the entire distance \( x \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the distance segments The total distance \( x \) is divided into three equal parts: - First third: \( \frac{x}{3} \) - Second third: \( \frac{x}{3} \) - Last third: \( \frac{x}{3} \) ...
