Question

A man covered a distance of 150m in 1.5minutes. what is the average speed in km per hour

A) 2 km/h
B) 3 km/h
C) 4 km/h
D) 5 km/h
E) 6 km/h

Answer 1

The average speed is 6 km/h.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the average speed, we divide the distance traveled by the time taken:

Speed = Distance / Time

Given that the man covered a distance of 150m in 1.5 minutes, we can convert minutes to hours by dividing by 60:

Time in hours = 1.5 minutes / 60

Time in hours = 0.025 hours

So, the average speed = 150m / 0.025 hours = 6000m/h

To convert this to km/h, we divide by 1000:

Average speed = 6000m/h / 1000 = 6 km/h

Therefore, the correct answer is (E) 6 km/h.
