Question

Bob roller skates 48 km in 4 hours. What is his average speed in kilometers per hour?

Answer 1

His average speed is `"12 km/hr"`.

Explanation:

Remember the triangle of Speed, Distance and Time. If you remember it, you'll ace these kinda questions.

I had trouble with these formulas but the triangle helped me a LOT! Anyways, let's get back to the question. The formula for average speed is pretty much the same as the formula for just speed. The average speed formula is

`"Average speed" = "Total Distance"/"Total Time"`

So......

`"48 km"/"4 hr" = "12 km/hr"`

I hope this explanation helps you!
