A car travels 150 km in 2 hours. What is its average speed?

The average speed is 75 km/h.

v = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{150}{2} = 75\ \text{km/h}

How to work it out

1
Write down what you know: distance d = 150 km, time t = 2 hours. You are asked for the speed v.
2
Use the formula speed = distance ÷ time:
$v = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{150}{2} = 75$
3
Answer with the unit: 75 km/h.
4
The same formula rearranged: distance = speed × time (75 × 2 = 150 km) and time = distance ÷ speed (150 ÷ 75 = 2 hours).
