Answer:


\displaystyle V=7.5\ km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Average Speed

If an object travels a distance d in a time t regardless of the direction, the average speed is the quotient of the distance over the time:


\displaystyle V=(d)/(t)

It's known a person runs d=15 kilometers in t=2 hours, thus his/her average speed is:


\displaystyle V=(15\ km)/(2\ h)

Calculating:


\boxed{\displaystyle V=7.5\ km/h}
