How many hours does it take a car to travel 300 miles at an average speed of 75 miles per hour?

85% Answer Correctly
5 hours
8 hours
9 hours
4 hours

Solution

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)

Solving for time:

time = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}} \)
time = \( \frac{300mi}{75mph} \)
4 hours


4

87% Answer Correctly
125 miles
60 miles
15 miles
90 miles

Solution

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)

Solving for distance:

distance = \( \text{speed} \times \text{time} \)
distance = \( 15mph \times 6h \)
90 miles
