Answer:

It took a car driver 30 minutes to travel a distance of 50 km. What is the average speed?

62.137

(you didn’t say what units the answer should be in so I am just taking a few guesses)

The formula which relates distance d, time t, and speed or rate of travel r is:

d = rt.

We're given that the distance traveled d = 50 km and the time t traveled = 30 minutes = 1/2 hr. Substituting this given information into the distance-rate-time formula for d and t to find r, we get:

50 km = r(1/2 hr)

Now, dividing both sides by 1/2 hr, we have:

50 km/(1/2 hr) = [r(1/2 hr)]/(1/2 hr)

50 km/(1/2 hr) = r[(1/2 hr)/(1/2 hr)]

[50 km/(1/2)] km/hr = r[(1/2 hr)/(1/2 hr)]

50(2/1) km/hr = r[1]

100 km/hr = r[1]

r = 100 km/hr is the average speed of the car.
