Understand why↗
The harmonic mean is used because time spent traveling varies inversely with speed for fixed distances. When driving at different speeds over equal legs, you spend significantly more time at the slower speed, weighting the overall average towards the lower value.
Conditions: Averaging rates (like speed); Fixed distance segments (equal legs)
