If the distance covered to Cape Town was 1420 kilometers calculate the average speed in kilometers per hour at which they drove, correct to TWO decimals places use formula

Question

Time taken 14 hours and 20 minutes
Use formula

Answer 1

Average speed = distance/time

First, we need to convert the time taken into hours. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, we divide the minutes by 60 to get the fraction of an hour it represents.

20 minutes / 60 = 1/3 hour

Now we can calculate the total time taken in hours:

14 hours + 1/3 hour = 14.33 hours

Now, we can calculate the average speed using the formula:

Average speed = distance/time
Average speed = 1420 km / 14.33 hours
Average speed = 99.16 km/h

Rounded to two decimal places, the average speed at which they drove to Cape Town is 99.16 km/h.
