To find the average speed of the car that covers the first half of the distance at a speed of 40 km/h and the second half at 60 km/h, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the total distance Let the total distance between the two places be \( D \). Therefore, the first half of the distance is \( \frac{D}{2} \) and the second half is also \( \frac{D}{2} \). ### Step 2: Calculate the time taken for each half of the distance - **Time for the first half (T1)**: \[ ...
