Given:

Δx=Distance=150 kmΔt=Time=7200 s=720060minutes=120 minutes=12060minutes=2 hours\begin{align*} \Delta x&=\text{Distance}=150\text{ km} \\ \Delta t&=\text{Time}=7200\text{ s} \\ &=\dfrac{7200}{60}\text{minutes}=120\text{ minutes} \\ &=\dfrac{120}{60}\text{minutes}=2\text{ hours} \end{align*}

The speed is the distance divided by the time:

v=Speed=ΔxΔt=150 km2 hours=75 km/hv=\text{Speed}=\dfrac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}=\dfrac{150\text{ km}}{2 \text{ hours}}=75\text{ km/h}
