A car travelled from minna to Abuja covering 160km in hours find its average speed

1 answer

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,

\[ v = \frac{160 \, \text{km}}{2 \, \text{hours}} = 80 \, \text{km/h} \]
