Question

The distance from Phoenix to Los Angeles is 400 miles. A car traveled this distance in 6 hours and 40 minutes. What was the average speed of the car in miles per hour?

Answer 1

The answer would be 60 mph.

Answer 2

Average speed=
`(Distance covered)/(time taken)`
Average speed=
`(400 miles)/(6 (2)/(3) )`
Average speed= 400 miles÷
`(20)/(3)`
Average speed= 400 miles*
`(3)/(20)`
Average speed= 60miles/hour
