Answer: speed is  540 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:   Lets mark speed as v.

Because distenace is same, you can mark   6 h · 900 km/h = 10 h · v

and v = 5400 km / 10 h = 540 km/h.

Or using inverse proportions :   10 h / 6 h  =  v / 900 km/h  .

Before multiplying you turn lastproportion around :

10 h / 6 h = 600 km/ h / v   ,which gives   10 v = 6 · 900 km/h

and result is same
