Jacob drove 140 miles in two hours and 30 minutes what was his average speed

Answer 1

You are asking how many Miles they drove Per Hour or MPH. This is a division problem. You need to break it down into how many miles were driven and how many hours they drove, then divide the miles by the amount of hours. Here they drive 140 miles in 2.5 hours. 140 miles / 2.5 hours. 140 ÷ 2.5 = 56.

Always include your units! the answer is 56 MPH (miles per hour)
