A jogger travels 8.0 kilometers in 1.25 hours. What is the jogger’s average speed?


Sagot :

Time is 1hour and 25 minutes, therefore 1.41667 hours. This means that in km/h, The equation will be
[tex] \frac{8}{1.41667} [/tex]
The answer is 5.65 km/h if rounded.

The average speed of jogger during the journey is 6.4 km/hr.

Given data:

The distance travelled by the Jogger is, d = 8.0 km.

Time taken by the jogger to cover the distance is, t = 1.25 hours.

The average speed of an object is defined as the distance covered by the object in a unit time. Mathematically, it is calculated by dividing the distance travelled and the time interval.

Therefore the expression is,

[tex]v = \dfrac{d}{t}[/tex]

Here, v is the average speed of jogger.

Solving as,

[tex]v = \dfrac{8}{1.25}\\\\v=6.4 \;\rm km/hr[/tex]

Thus, the average speed of jogger during the journey is 6.4 km/hr.
