Question

A car travels 60 km in the first 2 hours and 68 km in the next 2 hours. What is the car’s average speed?

Answer 1

average speed = total distance/total time taken

Answer 2

Answer: The average speed of the car is 32 km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Average speed is defined as the ratio of total distance traveled to the total time taken.

To calculate the average speed of the runner, we use the equation:

`\text{Average speed}=\frac{\text{Total distance traveled}}{\text{Total time taken}}`

We are given:

Total distance traveled = (60 + 68) km = 128 km

Total time taken = (2 + 2) hr = 4 hr

Putting values in above equation, we get:

`\text{Average speed of car}=(128km)/(4hr)=32km/hr`

Hence, the average speed of the car is 32 km/hr
