Starting at home, ishann traveled uphill to the grocery store for 12 minutes at just 15 mph. then he traveled back home along the same path downhill at a speed of 30 mph. what is his average speed for the entire trip from home to the grocery store and back?

Trip uphill to the store:
distance = speed * time
               = (15mph)*(12minutes/60 minutes per hour)
               = (15mph)*(0.2 hours)
               = 3 miles

trip downhill back home is along the same path
so the trip downhill was also equal to 3 miles.

So the the entire trip was a distance of 6 miles
3 miles uphill and 3 miles downhill.

So the average speed = (15mph uphill + 30mph downhill)/2
                                    = 45 mph/2
                                    = 22.5 mpg

So the average speed of the entire trip uphill and downhill is 22.5 mph

Cwill be your correct answer
