A car travels 270 km in 11 hours. What is its average speed?

The average speed is 24.545455 km/h.

v = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{270}{11} = 24.545455\ \text{km/h}

How to work it out

1
Write down what you know: distance d = 270 km, time t = 11 hours. You are asked for the speed v.
2
Use the formula speed = distance ÷ time:
$v = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{270}{11} = \frac{270}{11} = 24.545455$
3
Answer with the unit: 24.545455 km/h.
4
The same formula rearranged: distance = speed × time (24.545455 × 11 = 270 km) and time = distance ÷ speed (270 ÷ 24.545455 = 11 hours).
