Solution

To find the average speed of the car for the entire journey, we need to calculate the total distance traveled and the total time taken.

Step 1: Calculate the distance traveled in the first part of the journey. Distance = Speed × Time Distance = 60 km/h × 1.5 hours Distance = 90 km

Step 2: Calculate the distance traveled in the second part of the journey. Distance = Speed × Time Distance = 45 km/h × 3 hours Distance = 135 km

Step 3: Calculate the distance traveled in the third part of the journey. Distance = 55 km

Step 4: Calculate the total distance traveled. Total Distance = Distance in Part 1 + Distance in Part 2 + Distance in Part 3 Total Distance = 90 km + 135 km + 55 km Total Distance = 280 km

Step 5: Calculate the total time taken. Total Time = Time in Part 1 + Time in Part 2 + Time in Part 3 Total Time = 1.5 hours + 3 hours + 0.5 hours Total Time = 5 hours

Step 6: Calculate the average speed. Average Speed = Total Distance / Total Time Average Speed = 280 km / 5 hours Average Speed = 56 km/h

Therefore, the average speed of the car for the entire journey is 56 km/h.
