A car took 5 minutes to travel from town A to town B which are 12km apart.Calculate the average speed of the path.​

Answer 1

Speed = distance /  time

Speed = 12km /  5 minutes

Speed = 2.4 km per minute

Speed is measured per hour, 1 hour has 60 minutes.

2.4 km per minute x 60 minutes = 144 km per hour

Answer 2

144 km/h

V= s/t = 12*60/5 = 144
