A train travels 16 km in 20 minutes. What is the speed of the train in km/h?

Explanation

To calculate speed in km/h:

  1. Convert the time to hours:
    20 minutes=2060 hours=13 hours

  2. Use the formula for speed:
    Speed=DistanceTime=1613=16×3=48km/htext{Speed} = frac{text{Distance}}{text{Time}} = frac{16}{frac{1}{3}} = 16 times 3 = 48 , text{km/h}

So, the speed of the train is 48 km/h.
