Problema Solution
a car traveled 281 miles in 4 hours 41 minutes. what was the average speed of the car in miles per hour
Answer provided by our tutors
let
d = 281 mi
t = 4 hr 41 min = 4 + 41/60 hr
v = the average speed
the average speed = total distance traveled/ the time of the travel:
v = d/t
v = 281/(4 + 41/60)
v = 60 mph
the average speed of the car is 60 miles per hour.
