Question

Equation: S=D]

Answer 1

The speed of car is 106.67 miles per hour

To solve problems involving speed and distance we are required to first find speed or distance travelled in an hourly timeframe

It is given that car takes 4 hours to cover the distance at a speed of 40 miles per hour

Therefore, total distance travelled by the car= speed x time

                                                                          = 40 miles per hour x 4 hour

                                                                          =160 miles

We are required to find the speed of the car if the distance is to be covered in 1.5 hours

We are required to find the speed by the formula speed= Distance/time

distance= 160 miles     time = 1.5 hour

speed= 160/1.5=106.666=106.67 miles per hour

Hence the speed is 106.67 miles per hour
