Question

An aircraft carrier travels a distance of 1,000 km in 3 days. What is its average rate of speed?

Answer 1

The average speed of an aircraft carrier is 13.89 km/h.

Explanation:

We have,

Distance covered by an aircraft carrier is 1000 km

Time taken by the aircraft to travel is 3 days.

It is required to find the average speed of the aircraft.

1 day = 24 hours

3 days = 72 hours

Average speed :

`v=(1000\ km)/(72\ h)\\\\v=13.89\ km/h`

So, the average speed of an aircraft carrier is 13.89 km/h.
