Speed v = distance travelled / time taken
v = d / t
v = 540 / 60h
v = 9 km /h
The speed of the car that travels a distance of 540km in 6 hours is 90km/hr
Explanation:
Given:
Distance the car travels =540km
Time taken by the car to travel 540 km= 6 hours
To Find:
Rate at which the car travels=?
Solution:
[tex]\text { formula for speed }=\frac{\text { distance }}{\text { time }}[/tex]
Substituting the known values,
[tex]\text { formula for speed }=\frac{\text {distance}}{\text {time}}[/tex]
[tex]\text { formula for speed }=\frac{540}{6}[/tex]
[tex]\text { formula for speed }=90 \mathrm{km} / \mathrm{hr}[/tex]
Thus the speed of car is [tex]90 \mathrm{km} / \mathrm{hr}[/tex]
