Question

A train leaves at 11.15 and arrives at its destination at 12.23. If the train travelled 95 km, what was it's average speed in km/h? Give your answer rounded to 1 dp.

Answer 1

Answer:

Average speed v = 83.8 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Distance travelled = 95 km

Time taken t = 12.23 - 11.15 = 1 hour 8 minutes

t = 1 + 8/60 hours = 1.133 hours.

Average speed v = distance travelled/time taken

substituting the values;

v = 95 km ÷ 1.133 hours

Average speed v = 83.8 km/h
