A student who is training for a distance race jogged for thirty minutes and covered a distance of 7.5 km. What is the average speed of the student?

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data:

total distance =7.5km

time taken= 30 min= 0.5 hours

we know that the average speed is the average distance divided by time taken

Step two:

mathematically expressed as

speed=distance/time

substituting we have

speed=7.5/0.5

speed=15km/hour

Hence the average speed is 15km/h

the entire expression should be subtracted from 30. to subtract the quantity, distribute the negative sign, which changes the signs on the terms. so, the –2 changes to positive and gets added to 30 instead of subtracted from it.

hope this ! ^w^
