Question

Jimmy and his family took a three-day trip. They drove 198 miles on the first day, 150 miles on the second day, and 210 miles on the third day. If the entire trip took 9 hours, what was the average driving speed?

Answer 1

Okay. To solve this questions, let's add up the total number of miles traveled. 198 + 150 + 210 is 558. Jimmy's family drove 558 miles in 9 hours, but to find the average speed, we need to divide both numbers. 558/9 is 62. There. The average driving speed was 62 miles per hour.

Note: For future questions, remember that speed = distance/time (distance divided by time).

Answer 2

The average driving speed would be 62 because you add 198, 150, and 210 and divide the total by 9.

Hope this helped :)
