A car travels 60 km in 7 hours. What is its average speed?

The average speed is 8.5714286 km/h.

v = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{60}{7} = 8.5714286\ \text{km/h}

How to work it out

1
Write down what you know: distance d = 60 km, time t = 7 hours. You are asked for the speed v.
2
Use the formula speed = distance ÷ time:
$v = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{60}{7} = \frac{60}{7} = 8.5714286$
3
Answer with the unit: 8.5714286 km/h.
4
The same formula rearranged: distance = speed × time (8.5714286 × 7 = 60 km) and time = distance ÷ speed (60 ÷ 8.5714286 = 7 hours).
