Answer:
58.24 Km/h.
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Distance (d) = 495 Km
Time (t) = 8 h 30 mins
Speed (S) =?
Next, we shall express 8 hours 30 mins to hours.
We'll begin by convert 30 mins to hour.
60 mins = 1 h
Therefore,
30 mins = 30 mins × 1 h/ 60 mins
30 mins = 0.5 hour.
Thus,
8 h 30 min = 8 + 0.5 = 8.5 hours
Speed is define as the distance travelled per unit time. Mathematically, it is expressed as:
Speed = Distance /time
With the above formula, we can obtain the speed as shown below:
Distance (d) = 495 Km
Time (t) = 8.5 hour
Speed (S) =?
Speed = Distance /time
Speed = 495 Km / 8.5 hour
Speed = 58.24 Km/h
Thus, the speed is 58.24 Km/h.
