Answer:
Average speed in east direction
Explanation:
We have given average speed of the entire trip = 5 km/hr
First the car 4 hours then travels 12 km in 4 hours
So total time of the trip = 4+4 = 8 hours
So total distance traveled in the trip
As the car travel 12 km in 4 hours to the west
So distance traveled in 4 hour in east = 40 -12 = 28 km
Time in east direction = 4 hour
So average speed in east direction
