A car travels 25 kilometers in 1/2 hour. If it does not change its speed or direction, how far will the car travel in the next hour?

• 25 kilometers

• 50 kilometers

• 75 kilometers

• 100 kilometers

How can the speed of an object best be determined?

• distance traveled divided by time it took to travel

• time it took to travel divided by distance traveled

• distance traveled divided by speed traveled

• speed traveled divided by distance traveled
