Question

A train travels 120 km in 2 hours and 30 minutes. What is its average speed

Answer 1

Answer:

48 kmph

Explanation:

The question is asking you the kmph and that means the amount of kilometers travelled divided by the amount of hours. And if you want to think of it in a formula, SPEED = DISTANCE ÷ TIME

In this case, the amount of hours is 2.5 and the speed is 120km so 120/2.5 is 48

so the answer is 48 kmph

Answer 2

2 hr 30 min is equal to 2.5 hours

Speed is distance/time

S=120/2.5

S=48 km/h
