Question

Malcom coasted 32 miles from moon ridge to me tone and then pedaled back hard. If the round trip took 4 hours, what was malcoms average speed in miles per hour?

Answer 1

Answer:

Malcom's average speed was 16 miles/hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Distance from moon ridge to me tone = 32 miles.

Now including returned back journey.

So we can say that.

Total distance traveled = $32+32 =64\ miles$

Also Given:

Time taken to travel total distance = 4 hours.

We need to find the average speed in miles per hour.

Solution:

Now we know that;

average speed is equal to Total distance traveled divided by Total time taken to travel the total distance.

framing in equation form we get;

average speed = $\frac{64}{4}=16 \ mi/hr$

Hence Malcom's average speed was 16 miles/hour.
