Answer:
40 km/hr
Explanation:
Given:
- Initial reading of the odometer = 800 Kilometres
- Final reading of the odometer = 1400 Kilometres
- Time taken for travelling = 15 hrs
To find:
- Average speed of the car
Average speed = total distance/Total time
Distance covered = Final reading of the odometer - initial reading of the odometer
Distance covered = 1400-800
Distance covered = 600 km
Average speed = 600km/15hrs
Average speed = 40 km/hr
The average speed of the car is equal to 40 km/hr
