Question

Kiara hired a taxi and noted the initial reading of its odometer as 24803 Km.After the journey,she noted the final reading of the odometer as 25118 Km.If the journey took 4 hours 40 mimutes,calculate the average speed of the taxi during the entire journey.

Answer 1

Total distance travelled= Final Reading- Initial reading of odometer

Total distance travelled= 25118 Km-24803 Km

Total distance travelled = 315 Km

Total time travelled= 4 hours 40 minutes

Average speed = Total Distance ÷ Total time taken

=315 ÷ 4.40

=71.590 Km/hr

So average speed of taxi is 71 Km and 590 meters per hour

Answer 2

Hello there,

● Answer -

v = 67.45 km/hr

◆ Explanation -

# Given -

s1 = 24803 km

s2 = 25118 km

t = 4 hr 40 min = 4.67 hr

# Solution -

Total distance travelled is calculated by -

s = s2 - s1

s = 25118 - 24803

s = 315 km

Average speed of the taxi is calculated as -

v = s / t

v = 315 / 4.67

v = 67.45 km/hr

Hence, average speed of the taxi is 67.45 km/hr.

Hope this helped you. Keep asking..
