To find the average speed of the bus, we can use the formula:
Average Speed = Total Distance / Total Time
1. Convert the given times into 24-hour format for easier calculation:
- 0525 am becomes 05:25 am
- 0805 pm becomes 20:05 pm
2. Calculate the total time taken for the journey:
- The bus departs at 05:25 am and arrives at 20:05 pm.
- The total time taken = 20:05 - 05:25
- Total time taken = 14 hours and 40 minutes
3. Convert the total time into hours:
- 14 hours + 40 minutes/60 = 14.67 hours
4. Calculate the average speed of the bus:
- Average Speed = 200 km / 14.67 hours
- Average Speed ≈ 13.63 km/h
Therefore, the average speed of the bus for the journey from Pokhara to Kathmandu is approximately 13.63 km/h.
