Question

If a driver takes 6 hours to get to the town market which is 336 km away from his house, what is his average speed?

Answer 1

`56\ \text{km/h}`

Explanation:

`t` = Time taken =
`6\ \text{hours}`

`d` = Distance =
`336\ \text{km}`

Average speed is given by

`s=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}=(d)/(t)`

`\Rightarrow s=(336)/(6)`

`\Rightarrow s=56\ \text{km/h}`

The average speed of the driver is
`56\ \text{km/h}`.
