The second day, they drove 250 miles in 5 hours. The third day, they arrived at the park by driving ________ miles in 3 hours. Which number correctly fills in the blank?

Answer 1

50 miles per hour as they have been driving at a constant speed of 50 miles per hour throughout the trip.300/6=50 and 250/5=50

250/5 =50mph
