Question

Marco drove 75 miles in 1 2/3 hours. How many miles can he drive in 1 hour? (SHOW WORK)

Answer 1

Answer:

He covers 45 miles in one hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Distance covered by him = 75 miles,

Time, t = $1\frac{2}{3}$ hours,

We know that,

$\text{Speed}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}$

Thus, his speed = $\frac{75}{1\frac{2}{3}}$

$=\frac{75}{5/3}$

$=\frac{75\times 3}{5}$

$=15\times 3$

= 45 miles per hour

Hence, he covers 45 miles in one hour.

Answer 2

Answer:

  45 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Marco's average speed is ...

  (75 mi)/(5/3 h) = 75·3/5 mi/h = 45 mi/h

Marco's rate of travel is 45 miles in one hour.
