Chapter 2: Q 1. (page 187)

If you travel 100 miles in two hours, then your average speed for the trip is __________.

Short Answer

Expert verified

$50$ miles/hour

Step by step solution

Given Information

Total distance covered = 100 miles

Total time taken = 2 hours

Evaluate average speed

Average speed $= \frac{T o t a l D i s \tan c e C o v e r e d}{T o t a l T i m e t a k e n}$

Substitute distance and time into formula,

Average speed $= \frac{100}{2}$

$= 50 [r e d u c e f r a c t i o n]$

Thus, the average speed is 50 mph.
