Mrs. Bailey traveled 108 miles to Columbus, GA. It takes her two hours of traveling time. What is her average speed? Hint: Solve the equation d = rt for r. Answer 64 MPH 216 MPH 0.18 MPH 58 MPH

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

use the formula \[Average speed = \frac{distance..travelled}{time..taken}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The distance traveled is equal to velocity times time, or: \[d=vt\] The distance is 108 miles and the time is 2 hours, so: \[v=d/t=108 miles/2 miles = 54 miles/hour\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry that should say 108 miles/2 hours, not 2 miles.

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

and its interesting the correct answer isn't an option

OpenStudy (campbell_st):
