It is not correct. The time interval between A to B, B to C and C to D is not equal.
Find the average velocity from A to D. The distance traveled = The average velocity x time.
Are you posting the problem exactly as it was given? As Isiudor points out, there does not seem to be sufficient information to solve it.thereddevils said:Find the distance traveled by the car from point A to D. From A to B, the car travels at an average speed of 30 km/h, from B to C, 60 km/h and from C to D 40 km/h. The whole journey took 6 hours.

For example:
A to B for one hour (30 km), B to C for one hour (60 km), C to D for four hours (160 km); total distance = 250 km.
On the other hand:
A to B for two hours (60 km), B to C for one hour (60 km), C to D for three hours (120 km); total distance = 240 km.
There are an infinite number of solutions.

The distance travelled by car from A to D is typically calculated by using a mapping software or app, which calculates the shortest route between the two points and provides an estimated distance based on the roads and highways used.
There are several factors that can affect the distance travelled by car from A to D, including the route taken, traffic conditions, road closures or construction, and any detours or alternate routes that may be necessary.
Yes, the distance travelled by car from A to D can vary depending on the type of vehicle being used. Factors such as fuel efficiency, size and weight of the vehicle, and driving habits can all impact the final distance travelled.
No, the distance travelled by car from A to D will typically be longer than the distance "as the crow flies". This is because a car needs to follow roads and highways, which are not always a straight line between two points.
The estimated distances provided by mapping software are typically accurate, but they should be used as a guide rather than an exact measurement. Factors such as traffic, road conditions, and detours may affect the actual distance travelled, so it is always best to leave some extra time for unexpected delays.
