An Uber cab covers a distance of 544 km in 16 hours. What is its speed (in…

Concept

For uniform motion, speed is the distance travelled per unit time. Use the relation speed = distance ÷ time, keeping the distance and time units consistent.

Application

1. Distance = 544 km and time = 16 hours.

2. Speed = distance ÷ time.

3. Speed = 544 ÷ 16 = 34.

4. Therefore, the speed of the cab is 34 km/h.

Cross-check

Multiplying the computed speed by the travel time gives 34 × 16 = 544 km, which reproduces the stated distance.

Result: 34 km/h.
