Sponge Bob decided to take a trip to Magic Mountain. He left Fresno at 8:15 AM in the morning. He arrived in Delano at 10:15 and had breakfast. Then he continued until he reached the Bakersfield and where he stopped to go to the bathroom. After 15 minutes he continued until he reached Magic Mountain at 12:15 PM. The trip was a total distance of 165 miles. What was Sponge Bob’s average speed for the whole trip?

It is just distance traveled (165miles) divided by time taken.  I am not sure it you will want to include the bathroom stop but I probably would.  It took hime a total of 4 hours

 

$${\frac{{\mathtt{165}}}{{\mathtt{4}}}} = {\mathtt{41.25}}$$

 

41.25 miles per km.
