Given:

Time taken, t = 3 hr and 10 min

Distance covered = 14.32 km

Let's find the speed of the train.

To find the speed of the train, apply the formula:


\text{speed}=\frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}}

Convert the time to hour.

Where:

1 hour = 60 minutes

Thus, we have:


\text{Time = 3}(10)/(60)=3(1)/(6)=3.17\text{ hours}

To find the speed, we have:


\text{speed}=\frac{14.32\operatorname{km}}{3.17}=4.52\operatorname{km}\text{ /h}

Therefore, the speed of the train is 4.52 kilometers per hour.

ANSWER:

4.52 km/h
