What is the average speed of the car if it travels a distance of d km in t h ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
To find the average speed of a car that travels a distance of \( d \) km in \( t \) hours, we can use the formula for average speed: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Formula for Average Speed**: The average speed is calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Average Speed} = \frac{\text{Total Distance}}{\text{Total Time}} \] 2. **Identify the Total Distance and Total Time**: In this case, the total distance covered by the car is \( d \) km, and the total time taken is \( t \) hours. 3. **Substitute the Values into the Formula**: Now, we can substitute the values of distance and time into the average speed formula: \[ \text{Average Speed} = \frac{d \text{ km}}{t \text{ h}} \] 4. **Simplify the Expression**: The average speed can be expressed as: \[ \text{Average Speed} = \frac{d}{t} \text{ km/h} \] ### Final Answer: Thus, the average speed of the car is: \[ \text{Average Speed} = \frac{d}{t} \text{ km/h} \] ---
