Question

hours, at what speed
was it traveling?

Answer 1

30mph

Step-by-step explanation:

150/5

Answer 2

`\boxed {\boxed {\sf 30 \ mph}}`

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed can be found by dividing the distance by the time.

`s=(d)/(t)`

The car traveled a distance of 150 miles.

The car traveled for 5 hours.

`d= 150 \ mi \\t= 5 \ hr`

Substitute the values into the formula.

`s=(150 \ mi )/(5 \ hr)`

Divide.

`s=30 \ mi/hr`

The car was travelling at a speed of 30 miles per hour.
