A car travels 180 km in 7 hours. What is its average speed?

The average speed is 25.714286 km/h.

v = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{180}{7} = 25.714286\ \text{km/h}

How to work it out

1
Write down what you know: distance d = 180 km, time t = 7 hours. You are asked for the speed v.
2
Use the formula speed = distance ÷ time:
$v = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{180}{7} = \frac{180}{7} = 25.714286$
3
Answer with the unit: 25.714286 km/h.
4
The same formula rearranged: distance = speed × time (25.714286 × 7 = 180 km) and time = distance ÷ speed (180 ÷ 25.714286 = 7 hours).
