On mary's walk, she covered the 3- mile distance to the park in one hour. however, the return trip took her one and a half hours. what was her average speed for the round trip?
thank you so much!

Respuesta :

Her average speed would be    

        total distance covered            6 miles (round trip)            6 miles
   ------------------------------------- = ------------------------------ = -----------------
        total time required                (1 hour + 1.5 hours)            2.5 hrs

average speed = (6 / 2.5) mph =  2.4 mph
