Umaima's Trip: Speed and Distance

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the average speed of Umaima's round trip to a gift store. It covers the concepts of distance and time, showing how to determine the total distance and time taken for the trip. The tutorial demonstrates the calculation of distance using speed and time, and how to compute the average speed by dividing the total distance by the total time. It emphasizes the importance of considering different travel times when calculating average speed.

What was Umaima's speed while traveling uphill to the gift store?

• 16 miles per hour

• 24 miles per hour

• 12 miles per hour

• 8 miles per hour

How is the total distance for Umaima's trip calculated?

• By averaging the distances to and from the store

• By adding the distance to the store and back

• By subtracting the distance back from the distance to the store

• By multiplying the distance to the store by two

How long did it take Umaima to travel uphill to the gift store?

• 1/4 of an hour

• 1 hour

• 3/4 of an hour

• 1/2 of an hour

What was Umaima's speed while traveling downhill back home?

• 16 miles per hour

• 24 miles per hour

• 12 miles per hour

• 8 miles per hour

How long did it take Umaima to travel downhill back home?

• 3/4 of an hour

• 1/4 of an hour

• 1/2 of an hour

• 1 hour

What is the total time taken for Umaima's entire trip?

• 1.5 hours

• 1 hour

• 2 hours

• 0.5 hours

What is the average speed for Umaima's entire trip?

• 8 miles per hour

• 24 miles per hour

• 12 miles per hour

• 16 miles per hour

Why can't we simply average the speeds of 8 mph and 24 mph to find the average speed?

• Because the distances are different

• Because the times are different

• Because the speeds are not constant

• Because the path is not straight

What is the correct method to calculate average speed?

• Average the speeds

• Use the speed of the uphill journey

• Use total distance divided by total time

• Use the speed of the return journey

What is the total distance Umaima traveled during her trip?

• 6 miles

• 8 miles

• 12 miles

• 24 miles
