Joe drove a distance of 220 kilometers. For the first 2 hours, he drove on local roads. For the next 2 hours, he drove on a highway and increased his average speed by 20 kilometers per hour. What is his average speed on the local roads and on the highway?
Unitary Method
The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.
Speed, Time, and Distance

Units and Measurements
Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experiments to set up the devices.
Joe drove a distance of 220 kilometers. For the first 2 hours, he drove on local roads. For the next 2 hours, he drove on a highway and increased his average speed by 20 kilometers per hour. What is his average speed on the local roads and on the highway?
Total distance Joe drove for : 220 kms
Time of driving on local road : 2 hrs
Time of driving on highway : 2 hrs
Let the average speed of driving on local road is 'x' km/hr
The average speed of driving on highway will be x+20 km/hr
Now the distance covered on local road and highways will be calculated as,
