A car travels 470 km in 7 hours. What is its average speed?

The average speed is 67.142857 km/h.

v = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{470}{7} = 67.142857\ \text{km/h}

How to work it out

1
Write down what you know: distance d = 470 km, time t = 7 hours. You are asked for the speed v.
2
Use the formula speed = distance ÷ time:
$v = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{470}{7} = \frac{470}{7} = 67.142857$
3
Answer with the unit: 67.142857 km/h.
4
The same formula rearranged: distance = speed × time (67.142857 × 7 = 470 km) and time = distance ÷ speed (470 ÷ 67.142857 = 7 hours).
