Solution

Total distance $= 100 m = 0.1 k m$
Total time taken $= 15 m i n u t e s = 15 / 60 = 0.25 h o u r$

Average speed = $\frac{T o t a l d i s t a n c e t r a v e l l e d}{T o t a l t i m e t a k e n}$

$= \frac{0.1}{0.25} = 0.4 k m / h$

Total distance =100m=0.1km Total time taken =15minutes=15/60=0.25hour Average speed = Total distance travelledTotal time taken =0.10.25=0.4km/h

Total distance $= 100 m = 0.1 k m$
Total time taken $= 15 m i n u t e s = 15 / 60 = 0.25 h o u r$

Average speed = $\frac{T o t a l d i s t a n c e t r a v e l l e d}{T o t a l t i m e t a k e n}$
