42 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 168 ÷ 4 = 42 km/h.
8. A vehicle travels 84 km in 3 hours. Find its average speed.
28 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 84 ÷ 3 = 28 km/h.
9. A vehicle travels 380 km in 10 hours. Find its average speed.
38 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 380 ÷ 10 = 38 km/h.
10. A vehicle travels 192 km in 3 hours. Find its average speed.
64 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 192 ÷ 3 = 64 km/h.
11. A vehicle travels 50 km in 1 hours. Find its average speed.
50 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 50 ÷ 1 = 50 km/h.
12. A vehicle travels 448 km in 7 hours. Find its average speed.
64 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 448 ÷ 7 = 64 km/h.
