It takes a car 1.75 hours to go from mile marker 10 to mile marker 115.


What is the average speed of the car?

A: 1.6 Miles Per Hour
B: 60 Miles Per Hour
C: 65 Miles Per Hour
D: 183 Miles Per Hour

Respuesta :

Average speed of the car = (change in distance) / total time taken = 115-10/1.75 = 105/1.75 =60 miles/hr. B is the correct answer

The average speed of the car for the entire journey is 60 miles per hour.

The given parameters;

  • time of motion of the car, t = 1.75 hours
  • initial position of the car, x₁ = 10 miles
  • final position of the car, x₂ = 115 miles

The total distance traveled by the car is calculated as follows;

total distance = x₂ - x₁

total distance = 115 miles - 10 miles

total distance = 105 miles

The average speed of the car for the entire journey is calculated as follows;

[tex]average \ speed \ = \ \frac{total \ distance}{total \ time} \\\\average \ speed \ = \ \frac{105 \ miles }{1.75 \ hr} \\\\average \ speed \ = \ 60 \ mph[/tex]

Thus, the average speed of the car for the entire journey is 60 miles per hour.
