Answer 2

Speed = 90 km per hour.

Explanation:

Given : One of your friends lives 225 km away. It took him 2.5 hours to travel to the cottage.

To find : At what speed did he travel.

Solution : We have given that

Distance covered by friend = 225 km.

Time taken to travel = 2.5 hour.

Speed =
`(Distance)/(Time)`.

Speed =
`(225)/(2.5)`.

Speed = 90 km per hour.

Therefore, Speed = 90 km per hour.
