Question

A snowmobile traveled 32 miles in 213 hours.

Answer 1

The average speed of the snowmobile can be obtained by using the formula: speed = distance/time which was also given in the problem statement. This means that the average speed refers to how far you have traveled in a period of time. In this case, the snowmobile traveled 32 miles in 213 hours. We then simply divide the distance, 32 miles, by the time it took for the snowmobile to travel such distance which is 213 hours. The average speed of the automobile is calculated to be 0.1502 miles per hour. When rounded off to the nearest tenth, the final answer is then 0.2 miles per hour.
