The odometer of a car reads 57321 km when the clock shows the time 8.30 am. What is the distance moved by the car, if at 8.50 am, the odometer reading has changed to 57336.0 km? Calculate the speed of the car in km/min during this time.

Answer:

0.75km/min

Step-by-step explanation:

I haven't learnt physics at all but I'll try

57336 - 57321 = 15km (Difference)

8.50 am - 8.30 am = 20 minutes (Difference)

If the car odometer adds up 15km every 20 minutes...

20 mins = 15km

1 min = 15 ÷ 20 = 0.75km
