The average speed of the taxi is 72 km/hr.
Given,
The initial reading of the odometer = 1052 Km
Final reading = 1088 km
Time taken = 30 mins.
To Find,
The average speed of the taxi.
Solution,
The formula for calculating the average speed is
Average speed = total distance travelled / total time taken
Total distance traveled = Final reading - initial reading = 1088-1052=36km
Total time taken = 30 min = 1/2 hr
Now,
Average speed = 36/(1/2)
Average speed = 36*2 = 72 km/hr
Hence, the average speed of the taxi si 72 km/hr.
