Question

Nathan drove 234 miles in 6 hours. On average how fast did he drive in miles per hour?

Answer 1

Nathan drove an average of 39mph

Explanation:

r=d/t

rate=234/6

234+6=240

240/6=40

Because we added a six, we need to subtract one:

40-1=39

Nathan drove an average of 39mph

Answer 2

To find the average speed in miles per hour, we need to divide the total distance by the time taken:

Average speed = Total distance / Time taken

Average speed = 234 miles / 6 hours

Average speed = 39 miles per hour

Therefore, Nathan's average speed was 39 miles per hour.
