Answer: Tom drove 60 km/hr fast

Speed = Distance traveled / time taken

Explanation:

Given that:

Distance traveled by Tom = 60 km

Time taken by Tom = 1 hour

Speed = ?

Since speed is obtained by dividing distance traveled by the time taken, hence the formula to use is as follows:

speed = distance / time

Speed = 60 km / 1 hour

Speed = 60 km/hr

Thus, Tom had been driving 60 km/hr fast, using the formula "speed = distance / time"
