Answer 2

Answer: 65.8 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance traveled by a tractor-trailer=205.296 miles

Time taken to travel the distance=3.12 hours

We know that speed=$\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}$

$\Rightarrow\text{Speed}=\frac{205.296}{3.12}\\\\\Rightarrow \text{Speed}=\frac{205596}{3120}$

Dividing 205596 by 3120, we get 65.8

Thus Speed= 65.8 miles per hour

Therefore, the tractor-trailer is traveling with a speed of 65.8 miles per hour.
