Answer:

The correct answer is 6.25 km per hour due east.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a horse is running due East and covers a distance of 25 kilometers in a time period of 4 hours and we are supposed to find its velocity.

The formula of velocity is similar to speed which is the ration of distance and time.

Velocity = distance / time

So putting in the given values to find the velocity of the horse:

V = 25 / 4

V = 6.25 km / hour
