    Solution (B):

    (Από τις πλέον συνηθισμένες εκφωνήσεις άσκησης ταχυτήτων στο GMAT )

    Πρώτο βήμα πάντα βρίσκουμε το συνολικό χρόνο για τη συνολική διαδρομή ,χρησιμοποιώντας συνέχεια ότι

    ταχύτητα = απόσταση/χρόνος (u = d/t )

    [katex]t_1[/katex] = 30 / 30=1 hour
    [katex]t_2[/katex] = 30 / 60 = ½ hour

    Oπότε [katex]u_{average}[/katex] = [katex]d_{total}[/katex] / [katex]t_{total}[/katex] [katex]\Rightarrow[/katex]

    [katex]U_{av}[/katex] = 60 / 1.5 = 120 / 3 = 40
