    what is the average speed?

    Last week I travelled from London to Leeds, which is a distance of 167 miles. I started at 9.15am and completed the journey with an average speed of 50 miles per hour. On the way back, in the evening, I travelled exactly the same route, starting at 5.15pm. The traffic was light and I completed the journey with an average speed of 75 miles per hour. What was the overall average speed for round trip?

    Average Period is 60kmph.

    Total distance he covered is =334 kms
    time he spent to cover this distance is 5 hours and 34 mins

    AVG speed = distance/time

    Yes. That's Correct.
    Only the speeds are relevant - the other information is there to confuse you.
