Arithmetic speed distance and time
-1
$begingroup$
What if the time of departure is 12:15 and time of arrival is 14:45, it’s asking me to find the distance travelled.

Distance traveled has to be in km if that helps

I apologise let me rephrase. The chapter is average rates of change (with respect to time) and the question is all in a box with a couple blanks. It’s given me a time of departure=12:15 and a time of arrival=14:45 and the two blanks are distance travelled(km) and average speed. I know how to calculate the average speed but I need the distance travelled to calculate it. My question is how do I calculate it?

If you don't have any distance, or velocity, there's not much you can do

That’s okay I’ll just write something down and skip it
