Question

A car travels from City A to City B to the east. It takes 2 hours, and the road mileage is 100 miles. The map shows that the cities are only 80 miles apart (straight-line distance). Calculate the average velocity.

Answer 1

The average is 50 mph. 100/2 =50

Answer 2

average velocity is 50 mph.

Explanation:

Information on the basis of question that distance between the City A and City B is 100 miles . But information about map distance is nothing to do with question .It is extra information.

`Average Speed=(distance)/(time) =(100)/(2) = 50 miles per hour`.
