\nThe distance covered by the car is the difference between the final and initial odometer readings:
\nDistance = Final reading – Initial reading
\nDistance = 2400 km – 2000 km = 400 km
\nThe time taken for the journey is given as 8 hours.
\nAverage speed is calculated as Total Distance covered divided by the Total Time taken:
\nAverage speed = Distance \/ Time
\nAverage speed = 400 km \/ 8 hours
\nAverage speed = 50 km\/h
\n<\/section>\n
\nAverage speed is calculated by dividing the total distance covered by the total time taken.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThe odometer measures the total distance traveled by a vehicle. Average speed does not reflect the instantaneous speed at any given moment during the journey, which might fluctuate due to varying road conditions or driver actions.
