    Answer:

    10 kilometer/hour

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Average speed = Total distance travelled / Total time taken

    Ardi:

    Total distance travelled = 70 km

    Total time taken = 35 minutes = 35/60 hour

    Average speed = Total distance travelled / Total time taken

    = 70 km ÷ 35/60 hr

    = 70 × 60/35

    = 4,200/35

    = 120 kilometer/hour

    Lei:

    Total distance travelled = 585 km Total time taken = 9:05 – 13:35 = 4 hours 30 minutes

    = 4.5 hours

    Average speed = Total distance travelled / Total time taken

    = 585 km / 4.5 hours

    = 130 kilometer/hour

    Difference, in km/h, between the average speed of their trains = Lei’s train – Ardi’s train

    = 130 kilometer/hour – 120 kilometer/hour

    = 10 kilometer/hour
