Question

Marisa traveled 120 miles in 3.35 hours to come to school break ? What is the average speed that she was traveling.

Answer 1

The average speed that she was traveling is the average distance covered per unit time during the trip.

`\text{Average speed}=\frac{Average\text{ distance}}{\text{total time taken}}`

Given;

Average distance covered = 120 miles

Total time taken = 3.35 hours

Substituting the given values into the equation.

`\begin{gathered} \text{Average speed }=(120)/(3.35)\text{ miles per hour} \\ \text{Average speed }=35.82\text{ mph} \end{gathered}`

The average speed that she was travelling is 35.82 mph
