To calculate the average speed, we need to use the formula:
Average speed = Total distance / Total time
First, we need to convert the time from minutes to hours:
35 minutes = 35/60 hours = 0.5833 hours (rounded to 4 decimal places)
Now we can plug in the values we have:
Average speed = 36 km/h / 0.5833 hours
To divide by a fraction, we can multiply by its reciprocal:
Average speed = 36 km/h x 1 / 0.5833
Average speed = 61.8 km/h (rounded to 1 decimal place)
Therefore, the average speed of the man who traveled 36km/h in 35 mins is 61.8 km/h.
Calculate the average speed of a man who traveled 36km/h in 35 mins.
