I traveled 6.00 km to school in 0.250 hours. What was my average speed

Answer: 6.67 m/s

Explanation:

Recall that average speed is the total distance covered by a moving body divided by the total time taken. The SI unit is metres per second.

i. e Average speed = distance/time taken

Given that:

Distance covered = 6.00 km

Convert kilometers to meters

If 1 km = 1000 m

6.00 km = (6.00 x 1000) = 6000m

Time taken to school = 0.250 hours

Convert time in hours to seconds

If 1 hour = 60 minutes & 1 minute = 60 seconds

Then, 0.250 hours = (0.250 x 60 x 60)

= 900 seconds

Average speed = ?

Average speed = 6000m/900s

= 6.67 m/s

Thus, your average speed to school is 6.67 m/s
