Question

A car travels 600 km in 5 hours calculate its speed

Answer 1

speed=distance /time

Distance=600km,Time=3hr

speed=600km/5hr

speed=120km/hr

Answer 2

It is given that the car travels 600 km in 5 hours.


And, from the properties of speed, we know :
s = D / t, where s is the speed of the object, D is the distance covered by the object and t is the time taken to cover the distance.


In the question, given :

D or distance covered by the car = 600 km
t or time taken to cover the distance of 600 km = 5 hours.


Therefore the speed of the car should be :

= > ( 600 km ) / ( 5 hour )

= > 120 km / hr.


Hence the speed of the car is 120 km per hour.
