Question

joshua started cycling at 5:15pm. by 8:09 pm, he has covered a distance of 7250m. what was joshua's average speed during that time?

Answer 1

Answer:

2,500m/h

Explanation:

Average speed is calculated as total speed traveled divide by total time taken:

$s_{avg}=\frac{d_{total}}{t_{total}}$

Given total distance as 7250m and total time as $2009-1715hrs= 2hrs \ 54min=2.9hrs$, speed is calculated as :

$s_{avg}=\frac{d_{total}}{t_{total}}\\\\s_{avg}=\frac{7250m}{2.9hrs}\\\\=2500\ m/h$

Hence, Joshua's speed is 2,500m/h
