A train travels 240 km in 5 hours at a steady speed. What is its speed?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. 48 km/h
- Step 1: Speed = distance time.
- Step 2: km/h.
Answer
48 km/h.
Why not the others: 1200 km/h: distance and time are multiplied. 0.021 km/h: time is divided by distance. 235 km/h: time is subtracted from distance.
