Question

Patrick is driving form Sydney to Canberra. He travels for 288km trip in 4 hours. What's his average speed?

Answer 1

v = 72 km/h

Explanation:

Given that,

The distance covered by the Patrick, d = 288 km

Time taken, t = 4 hours

We need to find the average speed of Patrick. We know that the average speed of an object is equal to the total distance covered divided by total time taken. Let it is v. So,

`v=(d)/(t)\\\\v=(288\ km)/(4\ h)\\\\v=72\ km/h`

So, his average speed is equal to 72 km/h.
