Question

Chris's family plans to drive 220 miles to their vacation spot. They would like to complete their drive in 4 hours. Find the average speed in miles per hour needed in order to make the trip in the required time.

Answer 1

24.59 m/s

Explanation:

Average speed(m/s) = distance travelled(m) / time taken(s)

Distance = 220 miles

220 miles = 354,056 meters

Time taken = 4 hours

4 hours = 14,400 seconds

Average speed = distance travelled / time taken

= 354,056 / 14,400

= 24.59 meter/seconds

= 24.59 m/s
