AN AIRPLANE TRAVELS 290 KM BETWEEN AUSTIN AND DALLAS IN 1 HOURS 15 MIN.WHAT IS ITS AVERAGE SPEED?
Average Speed = Total Distance travelled/Total time taken
You've been given a distance of 290km, and a time of 1 hour 15 minutes, which is 1.25 hours.
Can you put these values into the formula?
Yes you can put it in a formula : s = 290 divided by 1.25 = 232 km/sec
an airplane travels 290 km between austin and dallas in 1 h 15 min. what is its average speed?
A runner covers a distance of 1500 m in 4 min. what is the runners average speed?
thanx these helped me so much
232
To find the average speed of the airplane, you need to divide the total distance traveled by the total time taken.
First, convert the 1 hour 15 minutes to hours. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, you can divide 15 minutes by 60 to get 0.25 hours.
Next, add the hour and the converted minutes to get the total time in hours.
Total time = 1 hour + 0.25 hours = 1.25 hours
Now, divide the distance traveled by the total time taken:
Average speed = Distance / Time
Average speed = 290 km / 1.25 hours
Dividing 290 km by 1.25 hours gives us the average speed of the airplane:
Average speed = 232 km/h
Therefore, the average speed of the airplane is 232 kilometers per hour.
