In 16∙2 seconds a motor vehicle travels between two points that are 400 metres apart. 400 × 3∙6 divided by 16∙2 equals 88∙9 or, when rounded down to the next whole number, gives a result of 88. Therefore, for the purpose of subsection (1), the average speed of the motor vehicle is 88 kilometres per hour.".
