Question

Travis lives 196 miles Dallas.On a normal trip it would take 180 minutes to drive from his house to Dallas. What is the average rate of speed in miles per hour.

Answer 1

Answer:

The average rate of speed is 65.33 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Distance  = 196 miles

Time required = 180 minutes.

Now time is given in minutes we need to convert in hours.

60 minutes = 1 hours

180 minutes = number of hours in 180 mins

By using Unitary method we get;

Number of hours in 180 mins  = $\frac{180}{60}=3 \ hrs$

Hence Time taken = 3 hrs

We need to find the speed.

Speed can be calculate by dividing Total distance with Time taken to travel the distance.

Speed = $\frac{Distance}{Time}=\frac{196}{3}= 65.33\ miles \ per\ hour$

Hence the average rate of speed is 65.33 miles per hour.
