A Correct answer
Explanation

Distance = Speed * Time = 48 * 10 = 480 km. To cover 480 km in 8 hours, the required speed = 480 / 8 = 60 km/h.

AI explanation

Using the distance formula, the total distance of the journey is 48 multiplied by 10, which equals 480 kilometers. To find the required speed to cover this distance in 8 hours, divide 480 by 8. The new speed must be 60 km/h.
