B. a car that traveled 236 miles in 4 hours
C. a car that traveled 290 miles in 5 hours
D. a car that traveled 342 miles in 6 hours

Answer 1

Answer: A

To find which car exceeded the speed limit, you need to calculate how much each car drove in one hour. Divide the miles with the hours.

Ex. 236 / 4.


Then, compare all of these together. You should find that 183 miles in 3 hours exceeded the speed limit.

A. 61
B. 59
C. 58
D. 57

Answer 2

The answer is A
This car was traveling at 61 mph.
183/3=61
