Question

Answer 1

Answer:

The average speed of the car is 50 km per hour

Explanation:

The average speed of the car is measured by:

Total Distance / Total time

Total distance = 200 km

Total time = 4 hour

Average speed = 200 km/4 hour = 50 km per hour

Note: The highest and the lowest speed attained by the car is of no importance to the average speed in this case. This is because we know total distance and total time, which is all that matters.
