Best answer

Initial reading of the odometer of the car 

= 57321.0 km. 

Final reading of the odometer of the car 

= 57336.0 km 

Distance covered by the car 

= Final reading initial reading 

= 57336.0 – 5 7321.0 = 15 km 

The given car starts at 8 : 30 a.m. and stops at 8 : 50 a.m. 

Therefore, time taken by the car to cover the distance is 

(8 : 50 – 8 : 30) min = 20 min. 

i. e., distance = 15 km. 

Time taken = 20 min 

speed in km / min
