Question

Erik rides his motorbike 26 2/3 miles 2/3 hour. What is Erik's average speed in miles per hour?

Answer 1

39. its 2/3rds for both, so you just have to cut it in half, then add that to the number you're given. ONLY WORKS FOR 2/3RDS

Answer 2

Average speed = 40 mph.

Explanation:

Average speed can be calculated by using the formula

Speed = Distance ÷Time

Given Distance covered =
`26(2)/(3) =(80)/(3)` miles.

Time =
`(2)/(3)` hours .

Substituting the values of distance and time we have :

Average speed =
`((80)/(3) )/((2)/(3) )`

=
`(80)/(3) .(3)/(2) =40` miles per hour.
