Step-by-step solution

3 steps

To find the average speed, we use the formula:

Speed = Distance / Time

  1. Given

    • Distance = 240 km
    • Time = 3 hours

  2. Substitute the values into the formula

    • Speed = 240 km / 3 hours

  3. Calculate the speed

    • Speed = 80 km/h

    The average speed of the train is 80 km/h.
