350 km

--------------- = 100 km/hr, or about 62.5 mph

3.5 hrs

Answer 2

100 km/hr

Explanation:

Givens

T = 11:00 - 7:30

T = 3 hours 30 minutes

T = 3 1/2 hours

t = 3.5 hours

d = 350 km

Formula

d = v * t

Solution

350 km = v * 3.5 Divide by 3.5

350 km / 3.5 hours = v

350 / 3.5 = v

v = 100 km/hour
