Q) (Speed) Ahmed drives from Abu Dhabi to Dubai. The journey takes him 1 hour 30min and the distance covered is 130km. What is the average speed at which he was travelling (rounded to the nearest 1km/hr)?
speed is distance/time
130km/1.5hr = 86.7km/hr
or, 87km/hr
Dont know but I have a question
If the train that Megan is riding covers 240 miles in 4 hours, how fast is the train traveling?
To find the average speed at which Ahmed was traveling, we need to divide the distance covered by the time taken.
Average Speed = Distance / Time
The distance covered is given as 130 km, and the time taken is 1 hour 30 minutes. However, we need to convert the time to hours to ensure consistency in units.
1 hour 30 minutes is equal to 1.5 hours. To convert minutes to hours, divide the number of minutes by 60 (since there are 60 minutes in an hour). Therefore, 30 minutes is equal to 30/60 = 0.5 hours.
Now we can calculate the average speed:
Average Speed = 130 km / 1.5 hours = 86.67 km/hr (rounded to two decimal places)
Rounding to the nearest 1 km/hr, the average speed at which Ahmed was traveling is approximately 87 km/hr.
