9 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 81 ÷ 9 = 9 km/h.
4. A vehicle travels 47 km in 1 hours. Find its average speed.
47 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 47 ÷ 1 = 47 km/h.
5. A vehicle travels 465 km in 5 hours. Find its average speed.
93 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 465 ÷ 5 = 93 km/h.
6. A vehicle travels 365 km in 5 hours. Find its average speed.
73 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 365 ÷ 5 = 73 km/h.
7. A vehicle travels 504 km in 9 hours. Find its average speed.
56 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 504 ÷ 9 = 56 km/h.
8. A vehicle travels 148 km in 2 hours. Find its average speed.
74 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 148 ÷ 2 = 74 km/h.
9. A vehicle travels 63 km in 9 hours. Find its average speed.
7 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 63 ÷ 9 = 7 km/h.
10. A vehicle travels 30 km in 1 hours. Find its average speed.
30 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 30 ÷ 1 = 30 km/h.
11. A vehicle travels 196 km in 2 hours. Find its average speed.
98 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 196 ÷ 2 = 98 km/h.
12. A vehicle travels 168 km in 6 hours. Find its average speed.
28 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 168 ÷ 6 = 28 km/h.
