Question

Lydia drove 441 miles in 6 hours. On average, how fast did she drive in miles per hour? Express your answer in simplest form.

Answer 1

She drove
`(147)/(2) miles/ hour`

Explanation:

We are given that Lydia drove 441 miles in 6 hours.

We are supposed to find how fast did she drive in miles per hour

Distance covered by Lydia in 6 hours = 441 miles

Distance covered by Lydia in 1 hour =
`(441)/(6)`

Distance covered by Lydia in 1 hour =
`(147)/(2) miles/ hour`

Hence She drove
`(147)/(2) miles/ hour`
