QuestionA skier finishes a 7.5 km7.5 \mathrm{~km} race in 45 min45 \mathrm{~min}. Find the average speed in km/h\mathrm{km} / \mathrm{h}.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The skier completes a7.5 km race. The time taken to complete the race is45 minutes3. We need to find the average speed in km/h

STEP 2

The formula to calculate speed is distance divided by time.
Speed=DistanceTimeSpeed = \frac{Distance}{Time}

STEP 3

Plug in the given values for distance and time to calculate the speed.
Speed=7.5km45minSpeed = \frac{7.5\,km}{45\,min}

STEP 4

To convert the speed to km/h, we need to convert the time from minutes to hours. There are60 minutes in1 hour, so we divide the time by60.
Time=45min60=0.75hoursTime = \frac{45\,min}{60} =0.75\,hours

STEP 5

Now, plug in the converted time value into the speed formula.
Speed=7.5km0.75hoursSpeed = \frac{7.5\,km}{0.75\,hours}

STEP 6

Calculate the average speed.
Speed=.5km0.75hours=10km/hSpeed = \frac{.5\,km}{0.75\,hours} =10\,km/hThe skier's average speed is10 km/h.
