A bicycle covers a distance of 3km in 1/4 hour. What is the average speed of the bicycle in km/hr?
To find the average speed in km/hr, we need to convert the time from 1/4 hour to hours:
1/4 hour = 0.25 hour
Now we can use the formula for speed:
Speed = Distance ÷ Time
Speed = 3 km ÷ 0.25 hour
Speed = 12 km/hr
Therefore, the average speed of the bicycle is 12 km/hr.
To find the average speed of the bicycle, you need to divide the distance covered by the time taken.
Given that the bicycle covers a distance of 3 km in 1/4 hour, we can use the formula:
Average Speed = Distance / Time
Substituting the given values, we have:
Average Speed = 3 km / (1/4) hour
To divide by a fraction, we can multiply by the reciprocal of the fraction.
Average Speed = 3 km * (4/1) hour
Simplifying, we get:
Average Speed = 12 km/hr
Therefore, the average speed of the bicycle is 12 km/hr.
