Answer #1

Given that the jet traveled 800 miles west at 310 mi/hr and then traveled at 250 mi/h east for 3 hrs.

Consider the 1st part

Speed =Distance/Time

==================

Consider the second part

Speed =Distance/Time

====================

Since we are considering average velocity direction is important

Take west as positeive and east negative

Average velocity = Total displacement /Total time
