Answer 1

Create a ratio, 35/2.5. 2.5/2.5= 1. 35/2.5=14. Steve traveled at an average of 14 miles.

Answer 2

Hi!

We will solve this using proportions, like this:

35 miles in 2,5 hours

x miles per  1 hour

____________________

x = (35*1)/2,5

x = 35/2,5

x = 14

The average speed that Steve travelled is 14 miles per hour.

Hope this helps!
