Question

The odometer of the car reads 20000 km at the start of the trip 12400 km at the end of the trip if the trip took 8 hours find the average speed of a car

Answer 1

total distance =20000-12400=7600 km
total time = 8 hours
average speed= 7600/8= 950 km /h ans

Answer 2

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

AnswEr:

• The average speed of a car = 950 Km/h

Given Information:

• The odometer of the car reads 20000 km at the start of the trip 12400 km at the end of the 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 = 20000 km - 12400 km = 7600 Km

Time taken = 8 hours

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

ThereFore:

• $\mathsf {Average\:Speed = \frac{7600\: km}{8\:hours} = 950\:Km/h }$

Hence:

• The average speed of a car is 950 km/h
