Question

A car travels at a steady speed and takes 5 hours to travel 510 miles. Work out the average speed?

Answer 1

Average speed= total distance travelled/ total time taken
a. s. = 510/ 5
average speed= 102 miles/ hour

Answer 2

Answer:

102 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a car travels at a steady speed and takes 5 hours to travel 510 miles.

To find the average speed of car, we will divide total distance traveled by total time taken.

$\text{Average speed of car}=\frac{510\text{ Miles}}{5\text{ Hour}}$

$\text{Average speed of car}=\frac{102\text{ Miles}}{\text{ Hour}}$

Therefore, the average speed of car is 102 miles per hour.
