A car covers a distance of \(30\frac{5}{8}\) km in \(2\frac{1}{2}\) hours. How much distance will it cover in 1 hour?
[2 Marks]

Distance covered in \( 2\frac{1}{2}\) hours \(= 30\frac{5}{8}\) km
\(\therefore\) Distance covered in 1 hour
\(= 30\frac{5}{8}\div 2\frac{1}{2}\) [1 Mark]

\(= \frac{245}{8} \div\frac{5}{2}\)

\( = \frac{245}{8} \times\ \frac{2}{5}\)

\( = \frac{49}{4}\)

\(=12\frac{1}{4}\) km [1 Mark]
