To find the average speed of the car, we need to divide the total distance traveled by the total time taken to travel that distance. The formula for average speed \( v \) is:
\[ v = \frac{d}{t} \]
where:
- \( d \) is the distance traveled
- \( t \) is the time taken
Given:
- Distance \( d = 160 \) km
- Time \( t \) is not provided in the question (needs to be specified for a complete calculation)
If we assume the time taken is \( t \) hours, then the average speed \( v \) can be expressed as:
\[ v = \frac{160 \, \text{km}}{t \, \text{hours}} \]
Without the specific time, we cannot calculate an exact numerical value for the average speed. However, the above formula will give you the average speed in km/h once you know the time taken.
If you have a specific time \( t \) in hours, you can substitute that value into the formula to find the average speed. For example, if the time taken was 2 hours,
\[ v = \frac{160 \, \text{km}}{2 \, \text{hours}} = 80 \, \text{km/h} \]
