Question

A car took 6 minutes to travel between two stations that are 3 miles apart find the average speed of the car in mph

Answer 1

Answer: 30 mph is the answer.

Explanation:

s = 3 miles

t = 6 minutes

so,

60 minute = 1 hour

1 minute = 1/60 hour

6 minutes = 1/60 * 6 = 0.1 hour

so

average speed = s/t

= 3/0.1 = 30 mph
