Question

A car travels a distance of 320 km in 4 hours. What is your average speed in meters per second?

Answer 1

Answer:

22.2 m/s

Explanation:

First, we need to convert km to m by multiplying by 1000. This means that the car traveled 320 000 meters.

Next, we convert hours to minutes by multiplying by 3600 (the number of seconds in an hour). This means that overall, the car traveled 320 000 m in 14 400 seconds.

The average speed can be found by using the equation $\frac{distance}{time}$. After substitution, this gives the fraction $\frac{320 000}{14 400}$, which reduces to 22 $\frac{2}{9}$ m/s, or about 22.2 m/s.
