Answer 1

18 min = 1080s
48km = 48000m

speed= 48000/1080=44.44m/s

Answer 2

Hey,
Thanks for asking this question.

Distance travelled by a truck, D=48 km
We know that 1 km = 1000 meter.
=> D = 48 ×1000 meter
=> D = 48000 meter

Time taken to travel 48 km, T=18 minutes
We know that 1 minute = 60 second
=> T = 18 × 60 second
=> T = 1080 second

So the speed of truck,S = Distance/Time
=> S = D/T = 48000/1080 m/s
=> Speed = 44.444 meter/second

HOPE MY ANSWER HELPED.
