Question

A bicyclist travels 60.0 kilometers in 3.5 hours. What's the cyclists average speed?

Answer 1

you would divide 60/3.5 which equals about 17km per hour. (i rounded)

Answer 2

Speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

Speed = (60 km) / (3.5 hr)

Speed = (60 / 3.5) (km/hr)

Speed = 17.14 km/hr
