Calculating Average Speed for Two Distinct Intervals of a Motorcycle Ride

<p>To find the average speed for each of the intervals, we will treat each interval separately, then find the total average speed.</p> <p>For the first interval:</p> <p>Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time} = \frac{35 \text{ km}}{0.5 \text{ hours}} = 70 \text{ km/h}</p> <p>For the second interval:</p> <p>Speed = \frac{105 \text{ km}}{1.5 \text{ hours}} = 70 \text{ km/h}</p> <p>Since the speed in both intervals is the same, the average speed for the entire trip is also 70 km/h.</p>
