Question

If it takes 5 hours to travel 200 miles what is the average speed

Answer 1

If it takes 5 hours to travel 200 miles, the average speed would be 40mph.

To find the average speed rate you would divide the total amount of miles by the total amount traveled. In this case it would be 200 miles / 5 hours. This would give us an average speed of 40mph.

Answer 2

The average speed is mph (mile per hour)

200m/5h = 40m/h (simlified)

divide by 5 on both sides (since you are trying to get per hour)

40mph is your answer

hope this helps
