Answer

The average speed of the train is 60 km/h.

Step-by-step solution

3 steps

Steps:

  1. Identify the formula for average speed

    Average Speed = Total Distance / Total Time

  2. Substitute the given values

    Total Distance = 300 km
    Total Time = 5 hours
    Average Speed = 300 km / 5 hours

  3. Calculate the average speed

    Average Speed = 60 km/h
