How To Figure Average Speed?

Average speed = total distance รท total time

Add all distances traveled

Add all time spent traveling

Divide total distance by total time

Use the same units for all distances and times

Convert units if needed before calculating

For a round trip, include both directions in the total distance

For multiple speeds over different segments, use the combined distance and combined time

Average speed is not the same as average of the speeds unless the time is equal for each segment
