Sure, let’s solve this problem step-by-step:
1. Identify the given values:
- Distance traveled by the car: [tex]\( 200 \)[/tex] kilometers
- Time taken to travel this distance: [tex]\( 4 \)[/tex] hours
2. Understand the formula for average speed:
The average speed is calculated by dividing the total distance traveled by the total time taken. Mathematically, it is expressed as:
[tex]\[
\text{Average Speed} = \frac{\text{Total Distance}}{\text{Total Time}}
\][/tex]
3. Substitute the given values into the formula:
Using the values from step 1:
[tex]\[
\text{Average Speed} = \frac{200 \text{ km}}{4 \text{ hrs}}
\][/tex]
4. Perform the calculation:
[tex]\[
\text{Average Speed} = \frac{200 \div 4}{1 \text{ hr}} = 50 \text{ km/hr}
\][/tex]
Therefore, the average speed of the car traveling from Kathmandu to Hetauda is [tex]\( 50 \text{ km/hr} \)[/tex].
