Question

The odometer of a car reads 12000 km at the start of a trip and 12400 km at the end of a trip if the trip took 8 hours find the average speed of the car.

Answer 1

Total Distance the car cover = 12400 - 12000

= 400 km

Time taken = 8 hour

Speed = Distance

Time

= 400

8

= 50km/hour

Answer 2

$\huge \underline \mathsf {SOLUTION:-}$

AnswEr:

• The average speed of a car = 50 Km/h

Given Information:

• The odometer of a car reads 12000 km at the start of a trip and 12400 km at the end of a trip if the trip took 8 hours.

Need To Find:

• The average speed of a car = ?

$\underline \mathtt \green{ExPlanation:-}$

Distance covered by the car = 12400 km - 12000 km = 400 Km

Time taken = 8 hours

$\mathsf {Average\:speed = \frac{Distance\:covered\:by\:the\:car} {Time\:taken} }$

ThereFore:

• $\mathsf {Average\:Speed = \frac{400 km}{8 hours} = 50\:Km/h }$

Hence:

• The average speed of a car is 50 km/h
