70 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 490 ÷ 7 = 70 km/h.
8. A vehicle travels 76 km in 1 hours. Find its average speed.
76 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 76 ÷ 1 = 76 km/h.
9. A vehicle travels 217 km in 7 hours. Find its average speed.
31 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 217 ÷ 7 = 31 km/h.
10. A vehicle travels 450 km in 6 hours. Find its average speed.
75 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 450 ÷ 6 = 75 km/h.
11. A vehicle travels 268 km in 4 hours. Find its average speed.
67 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 268 ÷ 4 = 67 km/h.
12. A vehicle travels 120 km in 6 hours. Find its average speed.
20 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 120 ÷ 6 = 20 km/h.
