Question

A taxi hurries 63 miles in 2 hours
5 minutes. What is its average speed in
miles per hour?

Answer 1

Answer:

30 .24 m/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

2 hours and 5 minutes  = 2  + 5/60  hours = 2 5/60 hrs

63 miles / (2  5/60) = 30.24 m/hr

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the average speed, we must know this formula :

$\\ {\longrightarrow\sf \qquad{Average \: speed = \dfrac{Distance \: Travelled}{Total \: Time \: Taken}}}$

• Also we know that, 2 hr 5 min = 2.083 hrs approximately so,

Now, substituting the given values in the formula :

$\\ {\longrightarrow\sf \qquad{Average \: speed = \dfrac{63 \: miles}{2.083 \: hr}}}$

$\\ {\longrightarrow\sf \qquad{Average \: speed = 30.24 \: mph}}$

Therefore,

• The average speed of the taxi is 30.24 mph
