33 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 132 ÷ 4 = 33 km/h.
9. A vehicle travels 312 km in 8 hours. Find its average speed.
39 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 312 ÷ 8 = 39 km/h.
10. A vehicle travels 175 km in 5 hours. Find its average speed.
35 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 175 ÷ 5 = 35 km/h.
11. A vehicle travels 680 km in 10 hours. Find its average speed.
68 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 680 ÷ 10 = 68 km/h.
12. A vehicle travels 90 km in 6 hours. Find its average speed.
15 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 90 ÷ 6 = 15 km/h.
