The journey took 5 hours and 14 minutes. Calculate the average speed in km/h.

Answer 1

Answer: Fuel used = 392 km * 7.9 liters/100 km = 31.068 liters, average speed = 74.4 km/h.

Explanation:

. Fuel used = 392 km * 7.9 liters/100 km = 31.068 liters. Rounding to the nearest whole number, the answer is 31 liters.

2. To find the average speed, we need to divide the distance traveled by the time taken.

Average speed = 392 km / (5 hours + 14 minutes/60) = 74.4 km/h.
