total distance = 4 miles
and total time = 1/2 hrs ; 30 mins
so total speed = 2*4 ; 8 mph

IMO E

Waugh walks 2 miles from the water to restaurant and back(total of 4 miles) in 30 minutes.

Therefore, the average speed at which Waugh completed this whole trip is 8 miles/hour(Option E)

\(Speed_{avg} = \frac{Total distance}{Total time taken}\)

Total distance = 4 miles

Total time took = 30 minutes = \(\frac{1}{2}\) hours

\(Speed_{avg} = \frac{4}{\frac{1}{2}}\)

\(Speed_{avg}\) = 8 miles per hour

OPTION: E

IMO E ,


avg speed = total distance/total time

total distance = 4

total time 1/2 hr

so avg speed = 4/(1/2)
= 4*2 = 8
