Question

If a car in 3 hours travels 156 miles, what is the speed of the car in miles per hour?

Answer 1

To calculate the speed a vehicle is traveling you have to use the following formula:

`S=(d)/(t)`

Where

S: speed

d: distance

t: time

The car traveled d=156miles in t=3hs

Its speed can be calculated as:

`\begin{gathered} S=(156)/(3) \\ S=52 \end{gathered}`

The car's speed was 52 miles per hour
