Question

A car traveling at constant speed traveled 262.5 miles in 3 1⁄2 hours. What was the car's speed?

Answer 1

This is a simple velocity question.

Keep in mind that: (distance/time)=velocity.

So, we can write a very simple equation:

(262.5/3.5)=Speed/Velocity

Dividing, we find out that the car's average speed is 75 miles per hour.

Answer 2

S= 262.5÷ 3.5 = 75 mph
