  • Q3
    A car travels 6.0 km along a main road in 6.0 minutes. It then travels 2.0 km along a minor road in 6.0 minutes. Which calculation of average speed for the whole journey is correct?
    Question Image
    8.0 ÷ 12.0 = 0.67 km / minute
    12.0 ÷ 8.0 = 1.5 km / minute
    8.0 × 12.0 = 96 km / minute
    8.0 + 12.0 = 20 km / minute
