Donald hired a bike to ride around the zoo. He completed a circuit of all the exhibits in 2 hours and travelled 15 kilometres.

What was Donald's average speed?  (2 marks)

Show Answers Only

\(7.5\ \text{km/h}\)

Show Worked Solution
\(\text{Speed}\) \(=\dfrac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}\)
  \(= \dfrac{15}{2}\)
  \(=7.5\)

  \(\therefore \ \text{Donald’s average speed was 7.5 km/h.}\)
