Question

A helicopter ambulance flew from one hospital to another in a straight line. The pilot had to change speed several times due to the presence of other aircraft. The helicopter flew 20 kilometers in 8 minutes. What was the average speed of the helicopter during the trip?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

All the rest of the information is extraneous. The only 2 things you have to know are

d = 20 km

t = 8 minutes = 8/60 hours = 0.13333333

So the speed is s = d/t

s = 20/0.1333333 = 150 km/hour

Note: you have not specified what units the speed is. I suppose you could answer 20/8 = 2.5 km/min
