[COLOR=rgba(56, 61, 66, 0.8)][FONT="]Javier drives the 55 miles from Alphaville to Baileyburg in 55 minutes, and then drives back to Alphaville in 45 minutes. What is his average speed for the entire round trip?
(A) 45 mph
(B) 55 mph
(C)60 mph
(D)66 mph
So if avg speed is total distance divded by time then I would have multiply 55 x 2 (which is 110) and have to add 45 minutes plus 55 minutes (110 miles/100 minutes) and would get 1.1 but I dont see that on the answer choices. Where am i going wrong here?
