Question

A biker travels at an average speed of 18 km/hr along a 0.30 km straight segment of a bike path. How much time (in hours) does the biker take to travel this segment?

Answer 1

Answer: 0.016 h

Explanation:

$\text{Average speed} = \frac{\text {Total Distance}}{\text {total time taken}}$

It is given that, biker has an average speed = 18 km/h

Total distance traveled = 0.30 km

Therefore, time taken by biker to travel this distance:

$\Rightarrow \text{total time taken} = \frac{0.30 km}{18 km/h}=0.016 h$

Thus, the biker takes 0.016 hours to travel the segment of 0.30 km at an average speed of 18 km/h.
