The arithmetic average of speeds over a given time period is a pretty much useless measure - of anything!

Given two speeds how do you find the average?
If both speeds are used for the same amount of time, the average speed is just the sum of the two speeds divided by 2. If one speed is used for a longer time than another, you will have to calculate the total distance traveled for each speed (speed x time), and then divide by the total time (add the times).
Why is the distance between the Earth and the moon usually given as an average?
It is given as an average because the distance varies over time.
When are speed and average speed the same?
Average speed is an average value of speed over a given time. If your speed is constant (not changing), then your average speed will equal your speed at any given moment in time.
What is the difference between constant speed and average speed?
Average speed is a representation of all your speeds between two points, constant speed is just unchanging speed.
How do you find the average speed of an item over a given time?
Average velocity is change in position (displacement) divided by the interval.
What is an isbar?
Its a line on a map connecting points having the same atmospheric pressure at a given time or on average over a given period.
What is the average speed of 45 kph and 36 kph?
Depends on how long each of the speeds has been maintained - over the same distance, the same time, or neither.
What the purpose of isobars?
Isobar is a line on a map connecting points having the same atmospheric pressure, at a given time, or an average over a given period
What are the average weather conditions in a given location over a period of time called?
The long-term weather conditions for a given location is called the climate.
What is the difference between average speed and top speed?
Average speed is a value of all the speeds you have travelled at over a certain length of time. Top speed is the absolute highest or fastest speed that you have ever reached. (A one time speed value).
How does a car average speed differ from its instantaneous apeed?
The average speed of a car is how fast it averages over a span of time. Instantaneous speed is how fast the car is moving at any given time which is measured using a real-time speedometer.
If you know a car travels thirty km in twenty minutes you can find its what?
average speed, given by distance over time.
