Question

Calculate the speed of a car that travels a distance of 2.4km in 2 minutes ​

Answer 1

72 kilometres per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating speed is distance/time.

So to work this out you would convert 2 minutes into hours. You would divide 2 by 60 to convert it into hours. This is because the standard unit for speed with kilometres is kilometres per hour. Then you would divide 2.4 by that.

1)Divide 2 by 60:

`2/60=0.0333333`

2) Divide 2.4 by 0.0333333.

`2.4/0.0333333=72.00007`

3) Round it.

`72km/h`
