Question

What is the average speed of the car travel during this trip?

Answer 1

Odometer starting read = 20823

Ending = 21371

So total distance traveled is:

`\begin{gathered} \text{ Distance=21371-20823} \\ =548 \end{gathered}`

Time taken during traveling is:

`10.5\text{ hours}`

So the average speed is:

`\text{ Sp}eed\text{ = }\frac{\text{ Distance}}{\text{ Time}}`
`\begin{gathered} \text{ Sp}eed=\frac{\text{ Distance}}{\text{ Time}} \\ \text{Speed}=(548)/(10.5) \\ \text{ Spe}ed=52.19 \end{gathered}`

So the average speed is 52.19 miles/hour
