Question

Calculate the average speed of a car stuck in traffic that dives 12 kilometers in 2 hours

Answer 1

`speed= (d)/(t)`

Distance (d)= 12km
Time (t)= 2 hours


`Speed= (12)/(2) =6km/hr`

Answer 2

Average speed during a period of time =

(distance covered during that time) / (time)

Average speed = (12 km) / (2 hours) = 6 km per hour .
