A car travels first 160 km at 64 km/hr and the next 160 km at 80 km/hr...
General equation::S=D/T... calculate T by using case1 & case2...i.e First half T=160/64=2.5Hr Second half T=160/80=2Hr....Now Total T=4.5Hr...Substitute T in equation i.e S=320/4.5==71.111

Average Speed Calculation:
To calculate the average speed, we need to use the formula:
Average Speed = Total Distance / Total Time
We are given:
Distance travelled in the first 160 km = 160 km
Speed for the first 160 km = 64 km/hr
Distance travelled in the next 160 km = 160 km
Speed for the next 160 km = 80 km/hr
Total distance travelled = 320 km
To calculate the total time taken, we can use the formula:
Time = Distance / Speed
Using this formula, we can calculate the time taken for the first 160 km and the next 160 km.
Time taken for the first 160 km = 160 / 64 = 2.5 hours
Time taken for the next 160 km = 160 / 80 = 2 hours
Total time taken = 2.5 + 2 = 4.5 hours
Now, we can substitute the values in the formula for average speed.
Average Speed = Total Distance / Total Time
Average Speed = 320 / 4.5
Average Speed = 71.11 km/hr
Therefore, the average speed for the first 320 km of the tour is 71.11 km/hr.
