Answer 1

Answer:

60.4miles/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

 Distance covered by the car = 145miles

 Time taken  = 2.4hrs

Unknown:

Average speed of the car  = ?

Solution:

Average speed is the rate of change of distance with time;

   Average speed  = $\frac{distance}{time}$

Input the parameters and solve;

   Average speed  = $\frac{145}{2.4}$  = 60.4miles/hr
