4.A hiker travels 47.5 km in 9.5 hours.
5.A horse back rider travels 36 km in 2 hours.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Average speed = 400/5 km/hr

= 80 km/hr

2. Average speed = 2400/6 km/hr = 400 km/hr

3. Average speed = 5/0.5 = 10 km/hr

4. Average speed = 47.5/9.5 km/hr = 5 km/hr

5. Average speed = 36/2 km/hr = 18 km/hr
