Question

Ahhh pls help!

A cruise ship made a trip to Vancouver and back. The trip to Vancouver took 6 hours, and the trip back took 9 hours. The ship averaged a speed of 12 km/h (kilometers per hour) on the trip back. What was the ship's average speed on the trip to Vancouver?

Answer 1

The ship's average speed on the trip to Vancouver was 18 km/h (kilometers per hour). This can be calculated by dividing the total distance traveled (which is the same for both trips) by the total time taken for both trips. The total distance traveled is 24 km, and the total time taken for both trips is 15 hours. Therefore, the average speed for the trip to Vancouver is 24 km / 15 hours = 18 km/h.
