Question

A truck traveled 205 miles in 312 hours. The distance is the product of the rate and the time. To the nearest tenth, what is the average speed of the delivery truck? Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

Answer: 0.7 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem gives you the distance and the ammout of time this distance was traveled in. so you divide the distiance by the time and it will give you the answer

Answer 2

Answer:

0.7 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A truck traveled 205 miles in 312 hours.

To find: Average speed of the delivery truck.

Solution: We know that $Distance=speed\times time$

Here, the distance traveled by the truck is 205 miles.

The time taken by the truck is 312 hours.

Now, to find the speed we need to convert the above equation in terms of speed. So, we have $speed=\frac{Distance}{time}$

$\implies speed=\frac{205}{312}$

$\implies speed=0.657$

Now, after rounding the speed to nearest tenth we have, speed of the truck as 0.7 miles per hour.

Hence, speed of truck is 0.7 miles per hour.
