Roy traveled 72 miles in 112 hours. What was his average speed during the ride in miles per hour

Question

i need help this is really hard

Answer 1

Not hard!!

 

you want miles per hour 

 

"per means division (of # miles by # hours).

 

so average speed is 72 miles ÷ 112 hours.    Use a calculator now; answer is small (very slow ride, < 1 mile per hour).

Answer 2

v = d/t = (72 miles) / (112 hours) = 72/112 miles per hour = ? miles per hour
