Distance = Final reading – Initial reading
Distance = 2400 km – 2000 km = 400 km
The time taken for the journey is given as 8 hours.
Average speed is calculated as Total Distance covered divided by the Total Time taken:
Average speed = Distance / Time
Average speed = 400 km / 8 hours
Average speed = 50 km/h
