Question

On Saturday, it took Ms. Torres 24 minutes to drive 20 miles from her home to her office. During Friday’s rush hour, it took 75 minutes to drive the same distance. a. What was Ms. Torres’s average speed in miles per hour on Saturday? b. What was her average speed in miles per hour on Friday?

Answer 1

For each day, divide total distance by total time. That gives you the average distance in (mile/min).

 

If you want it in (mile/hour), just convert the time into hours first!...like this:

 

Saturday:

24 min / 60 min  = 0.4 hrs

20 miles / 0.4 hrs = 50 (miles/hour)

 

Friday:

you try!!! everything works the same, ...same distance (20 miles), but you have a different number of minutes (75 minutes)
