Question

The truck travels for 1.5 hours as it makes the 90 mile trip from the warehouse to the store. What was the average speed in miles per hour of the truck while driving to deliver the product to the waiting customers?

Answer 1

Answer: 60 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Truck takes
`1.5\ hr` to make
`90\ mile` trip

The average speed is the ratio of total distance traveled to the total time taken.

`v_(avg)=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{time}}\\\\v_(avg)=(90)/(1.5)\\v_(avg)=60\ mph`
