A car travels 430 km in 12 hours. What is its average speed?

The average speed is 35.833333 km/h.

v = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{430}{12} = 35.833333\ \text{km/h}

How to work it out

1
Write down what you know: distance d = 430 km, time t = 12 hours. You are asked for the speed v.
2
Use the formula speed = distance ÷ time:
$v = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{430}{12} = \frac{215}{6} = 35.833333$
3
Answer with the unit: 35.833333 km/h.
4
The same formula rearranged: distance = speed × time (35.833333 × 12 = 430 km) and time = distance ÷ speed (430 ÷ 35.833333 = 12 hours).
