Re: EIV (4th edition) Ch.12 Problem 5 on Page 187

As per the discussion on this Question ,
Distance cane be ==> 224.5 <= d < 225.5
Time can be ==> 4.5 <=t<5.5

The answer to this question goes something like this :
Max speed = 225.5/4.5
Min speed = 224.5/5.5

Why are we considering distance 224.5 and the time 4.5 in the answer above , Since the question asked what must be the average speed between?

The values 224.5 for distance and 4.5 for time can be the actual values.

Average speed should be between :

Max speed = 225.5/4.4
Min speed = 224.4/5.5

and not

Max speed = 225.5/4.5
Min speed = 224.5/5.5
