Question

A pickup truck traveling 45 miles in 1.2 hours. what is the average speed of the truck in miles per hour

Answer 1

Speed is distance over time, or
`Speed=(distance)/(time)`
Plug in the distance and time it took to get;

`speed=(distance)/(time)=(45~miles)/(1.2~hours)\\Speed=37.5mph`
The average speed of the pickup is 37.5 mph.
