A boy cycles continuously through a distance of 1.0km in 5 minutes. Calculate his average speed.
- A0.3m/s
- B16.6m/s
- C20.0m/s
- D3.3m/s
Explanation
Average speed is calculated as total distance divided by total time. Distance = 1.0 km = 1000 m, and Time = 5 minutes = 300 s. Average speed = 1000 m / 300 s = 3.33 m/s ≈ 3.3 m/s.
