Question

A train begins a journey from a station and travels 60 km in a time of 20 minutes. What is the average speed of the train?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

total distance traveled =60 km

total time = 20 minutes

Now,

1 km = 1000m

60km =60×1000=60,000m

and 1minute=60 sec

20 min= 20×60=1200 sec

average speed of train = total distance travelled/total time taken

= 60,000/1200

= 50 m/s
