A car travels 410 km in 8 hours. What is its average speed?

The average speed is 51.25 km/h.

v = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{410}{8} = 51.25\ \text{km/h}

How to work it out

1
Write down what you know: distance d = 410 km, time t = 8 hours. You are asked for the speed v.
2
Use the formula speed = distance ÷ time:
$v = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{410}{8} = \frac{205}{4} = 51.25$
3
Answer with the unit: 51.25 km/h.
4
The same formula rearranged: distance = speed × time (51.25 × 8 = 410 km) and time = distance ÷ speed (410 ÷ 51.25 = 8 hours).
