A bus averages 60 mi/h traveling to its destination in the first half of its trip through an expressway and 72 mi/h in the second half traveling through a motorway. What is the bus's average speed for the entire trip rounded to the nearest tenth

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

During first half it travels with a speed of

During second half it travels with a speed of

Average speed is given by

suppose t is total time

distance travel in first half

distance travel in Second half

step-by-step explanation:

the multiplicative inverse of a fraction a/b is b/a. for the multiplicative inverse of a real number, divide 1 by the number. for example, the reciprocal of 5 is one fifth 1/5 or 0.2, and the reciprocal of 0.25 is 1 divided by 0.25, or 4.
