Question

Train travels 10,000 meters in 2 hrs. what is its average speed?

Answer 1

Given:-

• Distance travelled ,D = 10000 m

• Time taken ,t = 2hrs

To Find:-

• Average Speed ,Av Speed.

Solution:-

As we know that Average Speed is defined as the total distance covered divided by total time taken .

Firstly we convert the distance into Kilometres.

1km = 1000m

Therefore, 10000m = 10000/1000km = 10km

• Av. Speed = Total Distance/Total time taken

Substitute the value we get

→ Av. Speed = 10/2

→ Av. Speed = 5km/h

Therefore, the Average Speed of the train is 5km/h.

Answer 2

Answer:

✯ Given :-

• Train travels 10000 m in 2 hrs.

✯ To Find :-

• What is the average speed.

✯ Formula Used :-

$\boxed{\bold{\small{✮\: Average\: Speed\: =\: \dfrac{Total\: Distance}{Total\: Time}}}}$

✯ Solution :-

• Distance = 10000 m
• Time = 2 hrs

» First we have to change the distance into kilometres (m ➙ km)

⇴We know that, 1 km = 1000 m

⇒ 10000 m

⇒ $\dfrac{10000}{1000}$ km

➡ 10 km

➣ According to the question by using the formula we get,

⇒ Average Speed = $\sf\dfrac{\cancel{10}}{\cancel{2}}$

➥ Average Speed = 5 km/h

$\therefore$ The average speed of the train is 5 km/h .
