Question

A car travels 221 miles in 3 hours and 15 minutes. How many miles per hour did the car travel?

A. 68 mph
B. 75 mph
C. 82 mph
D. 90 mph

Answer 1

To find the speed of the car in miles per hour, divide the distance by the time.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the speed of the car in miles per hour, we need to convert the time to hours and divide the distance by the time.

Given that the car travels 221 miles in 3 hours and 15 minutes (which is 3.25 hours),

Speed (in mph) = Distance / Time

Speed = 221 miles / 3.25 hours

Speed = 68 mph

Therefore, the car traveled at a speed of 68 mph.
