A car travels 350 km in 7 hours. What is its average speed?

The average speed is 50 km/h.

v = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{350}{7} = 50\ \text{km/h}

How to work it out

1
Write down what you know: distance d = 350 km, time t = 7 hours. You are asked for the speed v.
2
Use the formula speed = distance ÷ time:
$v = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{350}{7} = 50$
3
Answer with the unit: 50 km/h.
4
The same formula rearranged: distance = speed × time (50 × 7 = 350 km) and time = distance ÷ speed (350 ÷ 50 = 7 hours).
