Answer

12 km/h\text{12 km/h}

Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Calculate the total time taken for the journey.

    Kaari left at 8:00 a.m. and completed the journey at 10:00 a.m.
    Time taken = 10:00 a.m. - 8:00 a.m. = 2 hours.

  2. Use the formula for speed.

    The formula for speed is:

    Speed=DistanceTime\text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}

    Given distance = 24 kilometres.
    Given time = 2 hours.

  3. Substitute the values into the formula and calculate the speed.

    Speed=24 km2 hours\text{Speed} = \frac{24 \text{ km}}{2 \text{ hours}} Speed=12 km/h\text{Speed} = 12 \text{ km/h}

    The speed was 12 kilometres per hour.

    12 km/h\text{12 km/h}
