A car travels 380 km in 9 hours. What is its average speed?

The average speed is 42.222222 km/h.

How to work it out

  1. 1

    Write down what you know: distance d = 380 km, time t = 9 hours. You are asked for the speed v.

  2. 2

    Use the formula speed = distance ÷ time:

    v=dt=3809=3809=42.222222v = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{380}{9} = \frac{380}{9} = 42.222222
  3. 3

    Answer with the unit: 42.222222 km/h.

  4. 4

    The same formula rearranged: distance = speed × time (42.222222 × 9 = 380 km) and time = distance ÷ speed (380 ÷ 42.222222 = 9 hours).

LaTeX source of the formulas on this page
\[ v = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{380}{9} = 42.222222\ \text{km/h} \]
\[ v = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{380}{9} = \frac{380}{9} = 42.222222 \]
