Question

A car travels 45km in an hour. In each of the next two hours, it travels 78km. What is the average speed of the car.

Answer 1

Answer:

The average speed of car is 67 kilometers per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Distance travelled in one hour = 45 km

Distance travelled in next 2 hours = 78*2 = 156 km

Total distance = 45+156 = 201

Total time = 1+2 =  3 hours

Average speed of the car = $\frac{Total\ distance}{Total\ time}$

Average speed of the car = $\frac{201}{3}$

Average speed of the car = 67 km/hr

Hence,

The average speed of car is 67 kilometers per hour.
