Given:

A car covers a distance of 350 km in 5 hours and covers another 450 km at a speed of 90 km/h

Formula used:

Average speed = Total distance/ Total time

Calculation

Total distance covered = 350 km + 450 km = 800 km

Total time = 5 hour + 5 hour = 10 hours

Average speed = Total distance/ Total time

Average speed = 800/10 = 80 km/hr

His average speed for the whole journey is 80 km/hr.
