The average speed is calculated by doing total distance / total time

4.5 + 9.0 + 13.5 = 27km
15 + 30 + 45 = 90min

27 / 90 = 0.3
The horse’s average speed is 0.3km/min

The horse's average speed in kilometers per minute is equal to 0.3 kilometers per minute.

Given the following data:

  • Time 1 = 15 minutes
  • Time 2 = 30 minutes
  • Time 3 = 45 minutes
  • Distance 1 = 4.5 kilometers
  • Distance 2 = 9.0 kilometers
  • Distance 3 = 13.5 kilometers

To determine the horse's average speed in kilometers per minute:

First of all, we would find the total time and total distance covered:

For total time:

[tex]Total \;time = 15 + 30+45[/tex]

Total time = 90 minutes

For total distance:

[tex]Total \;time = 4.5 + 9.0+13.5[/tex]

Total time = 27 kilometers.

Mathematically, average speed is given by the formula:

[tex]Average\;speed = \frac{Total\;distance}{Total\;time} \\\\Average\;speed = \frac{27}{90}[/tex]

Average speed = 0.3 kilometers per minute.
