How to Calculate Average Speed

Question:

A car travels a distance of 250 kilometers in 5 hours. What is the average speed of the car?

Answer:

The average speed of the car is 50 kilometers per hour.

Calculating average speed involves dividing the total distance traveled by the total time taken to travel that distance. In this case, the car travels a distance of 250 kilometers in 5 hours.

To find the average speed, we divide the total distance (250 kilometers) by the total time (5 hours):

Average Speed = Total Distance / Total Time

Average Speed = 250 km / 5 hours = 50 km/h

Therefore, the average speed of the car is 50 kilometers per hour.
