Figure (3) shows a car travelling along the route PQRST in 30 minutes. What is the average speed of the car in km/hour?

60 km/hour.

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the total distance traveled by the car. This is illustrated below:

Total distance traveled = sum of distance between PQRST

Total distance = 10 + 5 + 10 + 5

Total distance = 30 km

Next, we shall convert 30 mins to hour. This can obtained as follow:

Recall:

60 mins = 1 hour

Therefore,

30 mins = 30/60 = 0.5 hour.

Finally, we shall determine the average speed of the car as follow:

Distance = 30 km

Time = 0.5 hour

Speed =?

Speed = distance /time

Speed = 30/0.5

Speed = 60 km/hour

Therefore, the speed of the car is 60 km/hour.
