Question

3. Kamini hired a taxi and noted the initial reading of its odometer as 24803 km. After the journey, she noted
the final reading of odometer as 25118 km. If the journey time was 4 hours 40 minutes, calculate the average
speed of the taxi during the entire journey.​

Answer 1

HEYA!

An odometer or odograph is an instrument used for measuring the distance travelled by a vehicle, such as a bicycle or car.

TOTAL DISTANCE TRAVELLED = THE FINAL DISTANCE - THE INITIAL DISTANCE

SO,  T. DISTANCCE = 25118 - 24803

T. DISTANCE= 315 KM

TIME= 4 HOURS 40 MIN  = 4 + 2/3= 4.6 HOURS ( 2/3 = 0.6)

SO, A. SPEED= T. DISTANCE DIVIDED BY T. TIME

SO, 315 DIVIDED BY 4.6 = 67.5 KM/H
