A student with his father plans to visit his grandmother during a vacation. They used a motorcycle for the ride. Before starting the trip the student took a picture of the odometer marked as initial in the image. After reaching his grandmother's home he took another picture of the odometer marked as final.

What is the distance between the student and his grandmother's house?

The school organised an educational tour for the students. They arranged a bus scheduled to leave for the trip around 8:00 am. The odometer reading of the bus at the start and end of the trip is provided in the table.

What was the average speed of the bus during the trip?
