Question

A truck travels 540 kilometres in 4.5 hours. Calculate its speed.

Answer 1

To calculate the speed of the truck, we use the following relation:

$\mathrm{Speed}=\frac{\mathrm{Distance}}{\mathrm{Time}}=\frac{540\mathrm{km}}{4.5\mathrm{h}}=120\mathrm{km}/\mathrm{h}$

Thus, the speed of the truck is 120 km/h.
