Question

A bicycle rider travels 50.0 km in 2 and a half hours.what is the cyclists average speed

Answer 1

To find out the cyclist's average speed you simply have to divide 50.0km by 2.5 to find the answer. Therefore the cyclist's average speed is 20.0 km an hour.

Answer 2

Answer is 20.0 km per hour.

Explanation;

S = d/t

Where, S is the speed, d is the distance and t is the time taken.

Here,

    d = 50.0 km

     t = 2.5 hours

By applying the formula,

  S = 50.0 km / 2.5 hours

      = 20.0 km per hour

Hence, the average speed of the cyclist is 20.0 km per hour.
