Question

Malcom coasted 32 miles from Moonridge to to Mentine and then pedaled back hard. If the round trip took 4 hours, what was Malcombs average speed in mph

Answer 1

16 mph

Explanation:

The relationship between distance, speed, and time is ...

speed = distance/time . . . . . "miles per hour"

Malcom's distance was 32 miles each way, for a total of 64 miles. Then his average speed was ...

speed = (64 mi)/(4 h) = 16 mi/h
