Question

Ava wants to figure out the average speed she is driving. She starts checking her car’s clock at mile marker 0. It takes her 4 minutes to reach mile marker 3. When she reaches mile marker 6, she notes that 8 minutes total have passed since mile marker 0.
What is the average speed of the car in miles per minute?

Answer 1

Answer:

The average speed of the car is 0.75 miles per minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ava starts checking her car’s clock at mile marker 0. It takes her 4 minutes to reach mile marker 3.

When she reaches mile marker 6, she notes that 8 minutes total have passed since mile marker 0.

We will find the slope of the function in the given interval to get the average speed.

$V=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

Putting the values we get;

$V=\frac{6-3}{8-4} =\frac{3}{4}$

or V = 0.75

Therefore, the average speed of the car is 0.75 miles per minute.

Answer 2

Speed is 0.75

Equation is n-6= 0.75(t-8)
