Average speed = Total distance / Total time.
Total distance traveled by Joel = Distance covered in the first 3 hours + Distance covered in the next 5 hours.
Distance covered in the first 3 hours = 3 x 60 = 180 miles
Distance covered in the next 5 hours = 5 x 24 = 120 miles
Therefore, total distance traveled = 180 + 120 = 300 miles.
Total time taken = 3 + 5 = 8 hours.
Average speed = 300/8 = 37.5 mph.
we know that 1 mile = 1.6 kms
=> 37.5 miles = 37.5 x 1.6 = 60 kms
Average speed in Kmph = 60 kmph.
