A train takes 2.5 hours to travel 120 kilometers. What is the train's average speed? A: 0.02 hr/km
B: 48 km/hr
C: 48 hr/km
D: 0.02 km/hr

PLS HELPPP

48

Explanation:

The formula is d, time t, and speed or rate of travel r is:

d = rt.

We know that d = 120 km and t = 2 hours and 30 minutes = 2.5 hrs.

So you now plug in for d and t to find r, we get:

120 km = r(2.5 hrs)

divide both sides by 2.5 and we get

120 km/2.5 hrs = [r(2.5 hrs)]/2.5 hrs

120 km/2.5 hrs = r(2.5 hrs/2.5 hrs)

48 km/hr = r(1)

r = 48 km/hr

Speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

Speed = (120 km) / (2.5 hr)

Speed = (120/2.5) (km/hr)

Speed = 48 km/hr (B)
