This math topic focuses on calculating average speed, particularly applied to scenarios where a car travels to a destination and returns back to the point of origin. Each problem involves different distances and time durations for the round trips. Students are tasked with determining the car's average speed for the entire journey. Multiple-choice answers are provided for each question, allowing the learner to apply the formula for average speed, which involves the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken.
