Hello.

The answer is :50

Rate*Time=Distance

r*t=d

d=r/t

400/8=50

Have a nice day

Answer:

The speed of a trip from City A to City B is 50 miles/hr.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A person covers the trip of 400 mile in 8 hours.

We need to calculate the speed

Using formula of speed


v = (d)/(t)

Where, v = speed

d = distance

t = time

Put the value into the formula


v = (400)/(8)


v=50\ miles/hr

Hence, The speed of a trip from City A to City B is 50 miles/hr.
