Question

Jabari drives 20.4 miles in 17 minutes. He passes a sign which gives the speed limit as 55 mph. By how much, in mph, did Jabari's average speed exceed the speed limit?

Answer 1

Jabari's average speed exceed the speed limit by 17 miles per hour

Given:

Total distance = 20.4 miles

Time taken = 17 minutes

convert minutes to hour

60 minutes = 1 hour

17 minutes = 0.283333 hour

Average speed = Total distance ÷ Time taken

= 20.4 ÷ 0.283333

= 72.00008470598200

Approximately, 72 miles per hour

Speed limit = 55 miles per hour

Exceeded speed limit = 72 - 55

= 17 miles per hour

Therefore, Jabari's average speed exceed the speed limit by 17 miles per hour
