A train covers 60 km in 0.75 hours. What is its average speed?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. 80 km/h
- Step 1: Speed = distance / time. Step 2. 60 / 0.75 = 80 km/h. Answer: 80 km/h. Why not the others: 45 km/h: distance and time were multiplied. 0.0125 km/h: the ratio was inverted. 59.2 km/h: the time was subtracted from the distance.
