Question

A train travels 88 kilometers in 4 hours, and then 77 kilometers in 5 hours. What is its average speed?

Answer 1

First lets cover our basic known information :

Average speed = (total distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

Total distance covered = (88 km + 84 km) = 172 km

Time to cover the distance = (4 hr + 3 hr) = 7 hours

Average speed = (172 km) / (7 hours)

Solve and your answer should be ::

24.57 kilometers per hour

hope i helped, good luck!

Answer 2

Total distance covered = (88 km + 77 km) = 165 km
Time to cover the distance = (4 hr + 5 hr) = 9 hours
Average speed = (165 km) / (9 hours)
Average speed = 18.33 km/hr
