A cab covers 60 km in 1.5 hours. Its AVERAGE SPEED is:
A60 km/h, equal to the distance numerically
B40 km/h, equal to distance divided by time
C90 km/h, equal to distance times the time
D30 km/h, equal to half the actual distance
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. 40 km/h, equal to distance divided by time
Average speed = total distance / total time = 60 / 1.5 = 40 km/h.
