Question

On her way to visit her parents, Jennifer drives 265 miles in 5 hours. What is her average rate of speed in miles per hour?

Answer 1

Average speed = Total distance / Time

                           =  265 miles / 5 hours

                           = 53 miles / hour.

Answer 2

Her average speed in miles per hour would be 53 mph.  You can get this by dividing the miles driven and the time.  This means Jennifer drove 53 mph to get to her parent's house. Hope this helps!
