A car travels 150 km in 1 hour. What is its average speed?

The average speed is 150 km/h.

v = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{150}{1} = 150\ \text{km/h}

How to work it out

1
Write down what you know: distance d = 150 km, time t = 1 hour. You are asked for the speed v.
2
Use the formula speed = distance ÷ time:
$v = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{150}{1} = 150$
3
Answer with the unit: 150 km/h.
4
The same formula rearranged: distance = speed × time (150 × 1 = 150 km) and time = distance ÷ speed (150 ÷ 150 = 1 hour).
