Question

A car runs for about 10 years during its average useful life. If the odometer reads 120,000 miles at the end, what was the average speed of the car in mph

Answer 1

Answer:

12000 mph

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance read by the odometer = 120,000 miles

Duration of car, t = 10 years

We need to find the average speed of the car. Speed of an object is equal to the total distance covered divided by total time taken. So,

$v=\dfrac{120000}{10}\\\\=12000\ mph$

So, the average speed of the car is 12000 mph.
