Question

A cross country runner runs 10 km in 40 minutes. what is his average speed

Answer 1

◈ Average speed is measured as the ratio of total distance travelled to the total time taken.

Given : d = 10km and t = 40min

To Find : Vav

_________________________________

፨ Conversion :-

60 min = 1 h

40 min = 40/60 = 2/3 h

`:\implies\sf\:V_(av)=(d)/(t)`

`:\implies\sf\:V_(av)=(10* 3)/(2)`

`:\implies\sf\:V_(av)=(30)/(2)`

`:\implies\:\boxed{\bf{\orange{V_(av)\:15\:kmph}}}`
