Answer: 18mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
total distance driven = 396 miles
time driven = 8 am Tuesday to 5 pm Wednesday
total time driven in hours = 33 hours
lunch break time = 30 min Tuesday + 30 min Wednesday
= 60 min
= 1 hour
sleep time = 7 pm Tuesday to 5 am Wednesday
= 10 hours
solution:
To find the average speed,
we are given total time driven = 33hrs.
lunch + rest time = 10hrs + 1hr
= 11hrs
total time travelled =drive time - rest + lunch time
= 33 - 11
= 22hrs
therefore;
average speed = distance / time traveled.
average speed = 396 / 22
average speed = 18 mph
