Question

A vehicle covers 360 miles in 5.5 hours. What is the average speed of the vehicle (in miles per hour) to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

I think it is 65.45 mph cause 360 divided by 5.5 = 65.45

Answer 2

Answer:

The Average speed of the vehicle to the nearest tenth is:

                  65.4 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the total distance covered by the vehicle is: 360 miles.

Also, total time taken by vehicle is: 5.5 hours.

Now we are asked to find the average speed of the vehicle.

We Know that average speed is the ratio of total distance traveled to total time taken.

i.e.

$Average\ Speed=\dfrac{Total\ distance}{Total\ time}$

i.e.

$Average\ Speed=\dfrac{360}{5.5}\\\\Average\ Speed=65.4545\ \text{miles\ per\ hour}$

Hence, Average speed is: 65.4 miles per hour.
