bob continues travelling in the same direction for another 10 miles at the steady rate of 60mph.

what is bob's average rate of speed for the entire trip?

45?

40 going by a 30 minute trip

The answer isn't complete without the units. 40 mph.

no.
as in, why would you do option 2?

10 miles for 20 minutes = 30 mph

another 10 miles at 60 mph

Total trip 20 miles.
Total time 30 minutes

what is bob's average rate of speed for the entire trip? = 40 MPH

unless he got pulled over for speeding.
