A car travels 130 km in 1 hour. What is its average speed?

The average speed is 130 km/h.

v = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{130}{1} = 130\ \text{km/h}

How to work it out

1
Write down what you know: distance d = 130 km, time t = 1 hour. You are asked for the speed v.
2
Use the formula speed = distance ÷ time:
$v = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{130}{1} = 130$
3
Answer with the unit: 130 km/h.
4
The same formula rearranged: distance = speed × time (130 × 1 = 130 km) and time = distance ÷ speed (130 ÷ 130 = 1 hour).
