A car travels 300 miles in 5 hours.
what is the average speed?
___mph
average speed per minute?
_____miles per minute
if the speed is constant how long dos it take for the car to travel 82 miles?
_______minutes
if it is 60 can u help me
do i divide by 60 since there is 60 minutes in and hour
To find the average speed, we need to divide the total distance traveled by the total time taken.
Average speed = Total distance / Total time
In this case, the car traveled 300 miles in 5 hours.
Average speed = 300 miles / 5 hours = 60 mph
So, the average speed of the car is 60 mph.
To find the average speed per minute, we can convert the average speed from mph to miles per minute. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, we can divide the average speed by 60.
Average speed per minute = Average speed / 60
Average speed per minute = 60 mph / 60 = 1 mile per minute
Therefore, the average speed per minute is 1 mile per minute.
If the speed is constant, we can use the average speed to determine how long it would take for the car to travel a specific distance. In this case, we need to find out how long it would take the car to travel 82 miles.
Time = Distance / Average speed
Time = 82 miles / 60 mph
Time = 1.37 hours
To convert hours to minutes, we multiply by 60.
Time = 1.37 hours * 60 minutes/hour = 82.2 minutes
Therefore, it would take approximately 82.2 minutes for the car to travel 82 miles if it is traveling at a constant speed.
Yes, for B, divide 60 by 60 to find the miles per minute.
When I was a child in the Dark Ages, when my dad drove 60 miles per hour, I was impressed that we were going a mile a minute.
