Average Speed
Calculates average speed v = total distance / total time.
Average speed
80,00 km/h
Average trip speed = total distance / total time. To solve for v, s, or t in v=s/t use “Speed–distance–time”.

Formula
trip average speed = total distance / total time (s÷t only; not solving other unknowns)
Example: 120 km in 1.5 h → 80 km/h
Methodology
Trip average speed = total distance / total time. Unlike Speed–distance–time, it does not solve other unknowns from v=s/t.
Example
120 km in 1.5 h → 80 km/h.
