Comment on Rani’s Average Speed
I actually solved this
Why the weighted average
Full Distance = X + Y
[X/(X + Y)]*A + [Y/(X + Y)]*B
(XA + YB)/(X + Y)
Answer D?
Great question!
Great question!
I'm not 100% sure, but I believe it has something to do with the fact that Weighted Averages are typically used to find an average measurement among a population of measurements (e.g, the average height among a population of males and females).
When we calculate average speed we aren't calculating an average of a number of values.
This is my initial hunch. If I think of a better response I,ll be sure to edit the above.
