Problema Solution
An automobile traveled 320 miles in 6 hours. What is its average speed?
Answer provided by our tutors
Let
d = 320 mi the distance traveled
t = 6 hr the time of the travel
v = average speed
Since average speed equals total distance traveled divided by the time of the travel we have:
v = d/t
v = 320/6
v = 53.33 mph
The automobile's average speed is 53.33 mph.
