A car travels 360 km in 7 hours. What is its average speed?

The average speed is 51.428571 km/h.

v = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{360}{7} = 51.428571\ \text{km/h}

How to work it out

1
Write down what you know: distance d = 360 km, time t = 7 hours. You are asked for the speed v.
2
Use the formula speed = distance ÷ time:
$v = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{360}{7} = \frac{360}{7} = 51.428571$
3
Answer with the unit: 51.428571 km/h.
4
The same formula rearranged: distance = speed × time (51.428571 × 7 = 360 km) and time = distance ÷ speed (360 ÷ 51.428571 = 7 hours).
