This math topic focuses on calculating the speed of a car given the distance traveled and the time taken. It tests the ability to convert time from hours and minutes to calculate speed in km/hr using the formula: speed equals distance divided by time. This involves basic arithmetic and conversion of time units, which are essential skills in understanding relationships within problems involving speed, distance, and time. This topic serves as an advanced application of these concepts, suitable for students who are already familiar with basic calculations and unit conversions related to speed and distance.
