Question

Malcolm coasted 32 miles from moon ridge to me Toné and the pedaled back hard. If the round trip took 4 hours what was Malcolm average speed in miles per hour?

Answer 1

The average speed is 8 miles per hour

Solution:

Given that,

Malcolm coasted 32 miles from moon ridge to me Toné and the pedaled back hard

The round trip took 4 hours

To find: Average speed in miles per hour

The average speed is given by formula:

$Average\ Speed = \frac{\text{Total distance traveled}}{\text{Total time taken}}$

From given,

Total distance traveled = 32 miles

Total time taken = 4 hours

Substituting the values in formula, we get

$Average\ Speed = \frac{32}{4}\\\\Average\ Speed = 8$

Thus average speed is 8 miles per hour
