Running times = [1 hour for each of 10 hours]
Speeds = [10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1] km/h
Concept:
Average speed = Total distance/Total time
Calculation:
⇒ Total time = 10 hours
⇒ Total distance = sum of distances in each hour
⇒ sum of (speed × time) for each hour
⇒ 10 × 1 + 9 × 1 + ... + 1 × 1 = 55 km
⇒ Average speed = 55 km/10 hours = 5.5 km/h
Therefore, R's average speed is 5.5 km/h.
