To find the total distance traveled, we need to calculate the distance traveled at each speed and then add them together.
Distance traveled at 45 km/h for 3 hours: Distance = Speed x Time Distance = 45 km/h x 3 hrs Distance = 135 km
Distance traveled at 35 km/h for 2 hours: Distance = Speed x Time Distance = 35 km/h x 2 hrs Distance = 70 km
Total distance traveled: Total distance = 135 km + 70 km Total distance = 205 km
To find the average speed, we need to calculate the total distance traveled and divide it by the total time taken.
Total time taken: Total time = 3 hrs + 2 hrs Total time = 5 hrs
Average speed: Average speed = Total distance / Total time Average speed = 205 km / 5 hrs Average speed = 41 km/h
Therefore, the total distance traveled by the man is 205 km and his average speed is 41 km/h.
