Question

You are leaving for a concert that starts in 4 hours and is 224 miles from your house. What average speed (in miles per hour) do you need to travel in order to arrive at the concert on time?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed: This can be defined as the ratio of distance of a body to the time taken to cover that distance. The S.I unit of speed is m/s.

Mathematically, speed can be expressed as

S = d/t.................................. Equation 1

Where S = average speed, d = distance from my house to the concert venue, t = time.

Given: d = 224 miles, t = 4 hours.

Substitute into equation 1

S = 224/4

S = 56 miles per hour.

Hence the average speed i need in other for me to arrive the concert on time = 56 mile per hour
