Joseph drives 25miles North in 15 minutes then he drives 40 miles east in 30 minutes, then he uses cruise control option for 1 hour and covers 70 miles on the highway and finally drives 15 miles in 15 minutes. What was his average speed?

1.25 miles per minute

Explanation:

Average speed is the rate of change of total distance covered per unit time.

i.e Average speed = (Total distance / Time taken)

Total distance covered = (25miles + 40 miles + 70 miles + 15 miles)

= 150 miles

Total time taken = ( 15 minutes + 30 minutes + 1 hour + 15 minutes) = 120 minutes

Since 60 minutes = 1 hour, the total time taken is 120 minutes

Now, apply Average speed = (Total distance / Time taken)

= (150 miles / 120 minutes)

= 1.25 miles per minutes

Thus, Joseph drove with an average speed of 1.25 miles per minute.
