Question

A car travels a distance of 540km in 6 hours. What speed did it travel at?

Answer 1

Speed v = distance travelled / time taken

v = d / t

v = 540 / 60h

v = 9 km /h

Answer 2

The speed of the car that travels a distance of 540km in 6 hours is 90km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Distance the car travels =540km

Time taken by the car to travel 540 km= 6 hours

To Find:

Rate at which the car travels=?

Solution:

`\text { formula for speed }=\frac{\text { distance }}{\text { time }}`

Substituting the known values,

`\text { formula for speed }=\frac{\text {distance}}{\text {time}}`

`\text { formula for speed }=(540)/(6)`

`\text { formula for speed }=90 \mathrm{km} / \mathrm{hr}`

Thus the speed of car is
`90 \mathrm{km} / \mathrm{hr}`
