Answer 2

Felipe's average speed over the 20s period is 14.4 km/h.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the speed at which Felipe has walked, the distance traveled and the time it took him must be considered.

Thus, Felipe walked 80 meters (20 towards the truck, and 60 inside it) in a total of 20 seconds. That is, he traveled 4 meters per second (80/20 = 4).

Now, to transfer said speed to kilometers per hour, the following calculation must be performed:

1 hour = 60 minutes

1 = 60 seconds

Number of seconds in an hour: 60 x 60 = 3600

Thus, Felipe has walked at an average speed of 14,400 meters per hour (4 x 3,600 = 14,400). So, since a kilometer consists of 1000 meters, its average speed in kilometers per hour was 14.4 km / h (14,440 / 1,000 = 14.4).
