Question

A snowmobile travels 32 miles in 213 hours.

To the nearest tenth, what was the average speed of the snowmobile?

Answer 1

wow i could walk further in that amount of time

Answer 2

2 1/3

Answer 3

its 2 1/3? or 213

Answer 4

2 1/3

Answer 5

The average speed is the unit rate.
You need miles per hour, which means the number of miles in 1 hour.

\(\dfrac{32~miles}{213~hours}\)

Since you want the denominator to be 1 hour, and it is 213 hours, divide the numerator and denominator by 213.

\(\dfrac{32\div 213~miles}{213\div 213~hours}\)

This will give you 1 hour in the denominator which is what miles per hour means.

Answer 6

its 2 1/3 nots 213

Answer 7

ill help you

Answer 8

ok thx

Answer 9

Hold on 1 second

Answer 10

ok

Answer 11

The idea is still the same.
Divide the distance by the time.

\(\dfrac{32~miles}{2 \frac{1}{3} ~hours}\)

Answer 12

1/3= 0.33

2 1/3 = 2.3333

32/2.33 = 13.7339056

Nearest tenth = 13.73

Answer 13

i think, idk for sure

Answer 14

or 13.7

Answer 15

\(=\dfrac{32~miles}{1} \div 2 \dfrac{1}{3} ~hours \)

\(=\dfrac{32~miles}{1} \div \dfrac{7~hours}{3} \)

\(=\dfrac{32~miles}{1} \times \dfrac{3}{7 ~hours} \)

\(=\dfrac{32 \times 3~miles}{1 \times 7~hours} \)

\(= \dfrac{96~miles}{7~hours} \)

\(= 13.714 ~mph\)

Now round off to the nearest tenth.

Answer 16

i think its 13.7
