Question

If a car makes a trip of 422 miles in 8 hours, what is its average speed per hour?

Answer 1

52.75

Explanation:

In order to get the "speed" you would have to do distance/time, so 422/8=52.75.

You can never multiply distance, it will always divide. For speed and time you would multiply "time * speed" or "speed * time", and for distance it would be "distance/time" or "distance/speed".

There is a "speed distance time triangle" for this as well, it'll help.

Answer 2

52.75 miles per hour (MPH)

Explanation:

422÷8 is equal to 52.75
