To determine the speed of the car traveling a distance of 749 km over a period of 7 hours, we can use the formula for speed, which is given by:
[tex]\[ \text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} \][/tex]
1. Identify the given values:
- Distance traveled by the car, [tex]\( d = 749 \)[/tex] km
- Time taken to travel this distance, [tex]\( t = 7 \)[/tex] hours
2. Apply the formula:
[tex]\[
\text{Speed} = \frac{d}{t}
\][/tex]
Substitute the given values into the formula:
[tex]\[
\text{Speed} = \frac{749 \text{ km}}{7 \text{ hours}}
\][/tex]
3. Calculate the speed:
When we perform the division:
[tex]\[
\text{Speed} = 107.0 \text{ km/h}
\][/tex]
Thus, the speed of the car is [tex]\( 107.0 \)[/tex] kilometers per hour.
