The most confusing part in averages is average of speed.There are two cases which I know where this differs.
1. When the distance travelled is same for two different speeds then the the average is harmonic mean of the speeds.generally time factor is not important here (as far as what I think since distance travelled is uniform)
2.When the distances travelled are different for two different speeds then we have to find the total distance travelled and have to find the average using the time ,and it comes as a simple arithmetic average.Time factor is very important here(sincetime travelled is very important since we have to find the distance travelled)
I will clearly post examples for this post as this is the most confusing part for me in averages.

15 is what times more than 5 ??????
I have a question which is quite confusing....
15 is what times more than 5 ?
Does the answer should be 2 times or 3 times because we generally as a mathematician say it is three times more than 5. but three times of 5 is 15 and 2 times of 5 is 10.
we can otherwise say 15 is 10 more than 5 alas 15 is 2 times more than 5.
But ask any mathematician the answer is 15 is 3 times more than 5.
Solve the problems mathematically not linguistically.I am not sure what the answer will be,but if a problem like this comes I will blindly write the answer as 15 is 3 times more than 5 because this is what my teachers told me and I am following it.
If you ask me about my opinion off the record I say
15 is 2 times more than 5
or
15 is 3 times of 5
