Question

If a car has traveled 171 miles in 3 hours at a steady pace, how far has it traveled each hour?

Answer 1

Answer: 57 Above is correct!

Explanation:

Answer 2

B: 57 mph=57 mph

Explanation:

A steady pace means constant speed that it does not change over a period of time and direction of motion. A simple formula, for this case (constant speed)

`v= (x - xo)/(t -to)`

where x is distance and t time. The subtract is final value minus initial value

We have the distance and time, then

`v= (171 miles)/(3 hours)  = 57 mph`
