Chapter 2, Problem 56A

To determine

To Complete:The given problem using the concept of average speed.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

Average speed is can be obtained by:

$=\frac{\text{Total}\text{Distance}}{\text{Total}\text{time}}$

The complete problem can be:

A butterfly travels 15 m from one flower to another, then travels 20 m from another flower to the third one. Then it again jumps to fourth flower which is at the distance of 25 m. Now, the butterfly goes to the next flower which is at a distance of 10 m. The total time taken by butterfly is 15 minutes. Calculate the average speed of the butterfly.
