Your race car can travel 1/4 mile in 3.12 seconds. what is the average speed of you race car in miles per hour. In order to calculate the speed of the car we first have to identify the suited formula for distance in this scenario.

Hence, d = 0.25 mi T = 3.12 seconds

Solution:
velocity = distance / time
velocity = 0.25 mi / 3.12 s
velocity = 0.08 mi/s
