What is the average speed of the bus between these two places?

The relationship between Distance, Speed and Time is found in this formula:

D=ST

You have D at T, and you're looking for S. First, let's change T from 30 minutes to 0.5 hours, so that our speeed will be in km/h.

D=ST
21 = S(0.5)
S = 21/0.5
S = 42 km/h

So the average speed is 42 km/h.

Hope this helps!
