    What is the correct equation for average speed?

    • Average speed = total time ÷ total distance

    • Average speed = total distance ÷ total time

    • Average speed = total distance x total time

    • Average speed = total distance + total time

    • Average speed = total distance - total time

    Correct Answer
    A. Average speed = total distance ÷ total time
    Explanation
    The correct equation for average speed is to divide the total distance traveled by the total time taken. This is because average speed is defined as the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken to cover that distance.
