Answer:

150 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

A speed measures a distance traveled over a period of time. We usually express speed in terms of km/h for example.

That train travels 600 km in 4 hours.

To find its average speed, we just need to divide 600 km / 4 hours

We then get 150 km/h

That's said to be the average speed since it's the total distance in the total of time.... it might have been slower or faster at different points during that distance/time.
