Solution

Step 1: Given
An initial reading of the odometer as $24803 k m$ .
The final reading of the odometer is $25118 k m$ .
Total distance covered $= (25118 - 24803) k m = 315 k m$ .
Time taken = 4 hours 40 minutes = $4 h r + \frac{40}{60} h r = 4.67 h r .$ $(1 m i n u t e = \frac{1}{60} h o u r)$
Step 2: Calculation
Calculation of the average speed of the taxi during the entire journey,
Kamini noted the speedometer reading at the start of the journey and at the end of the journey and the total time was also noted, the average speed is given by,
$A v e r a g e s p e e d = \frac{T o t a l d i s \tan c e}{T o a t l t i m e} = \frac{315}{4.67} = 67.45 m / s .$
Hence, the average speed $= 67.45 k m / h r$ .
