Answer 1

40.3miles/hr

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Time taken = 40min

Distance covered = 27mile

Unknown:

Speed in miles per hour = ?

Solution:

Speed is the distance divided by the time;

Speed =
`(distance )/(time)`

convert the time to hrs;

60min = 1hr

40min =
`(40)/(60)` = 0.67hr

Insert the parameters and solve;

Speed =
`(27)/(0.67)` = 40.3miles/hr
