Question

Camden drove 34 miles in 4/5 hours. On average, how fast did he drive, in miles per hour?

Answer 1

The rate at which body cover distance is given by speed.

The formual for the speed is,

`s=(d)/(t)`

For the given question, distance is d=34 miles and time is t=4/5 hours.

Substitute the value in the formula to obtain the speed of Camden.

`\begin{gathered} s=\frac{34\text{ miles}}{(4)/(5)\text{ hr}} \\ =(34\cdot5)/(4)\text{ miles/hr} \\ =(85)/(2)\text{ miles/hr} \end{gathered}`

So the speed at which camden cover distance is 85/2 miles per hour.
