Question 10:17. Reading of
odometer of a car changes
from 3000km to 3500km in
5hr. calculate distance travelled
and speed of car​

Answer 1

Answer:

100 km/h

Explanation:

Given:

• Initial reading of odometer = 3000 km
• Final reading of odometer = 3500 km
• Time taken for covering the distance = 5 hours

To find:

• Distance travelled by the car
• Speed of the car

Distance = Final reading  odometer - Initial reading of odometer

Distance = 3500 km - 3000 km = 500 kilometres

The car covers a distance of 500 kilometres

Speed = $\dfrac{Distance}{Time}$

Speed = $\dfrac{500}{5}$

Speed = 100 km/hr

The speed of the car is equal to 100 kilometres per hour
