64 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 576 ÷ 9 = 64 km/h.
9. A vehicle travels 612 km in 9 hours. Find its average speed.
68 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 612 ÷ 9 = 68 km/h.
10. A vehicle travels 504 km in 8 hours. Find its average speed.
63 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 504 ÷ 8 = 63 km/h.
11. A vehicle travels 765 km in 9 hours. Find its average speed.
85 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 765 ÷ 9 = 85 km/h.
12. A vehicle travels 392 km in 8 hours. Find its average speed.
49 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 392 ÷ 8 = 49 km/h.
