The family leave home at 9 A.M. At that point, the car's odometer reads 31,247. They drive until 12:30 P.M., when they stop for lunch. At the restaurant, the odometer reads 31,492. What is the unit rate of speed in miles per hour?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]\text{Speed} = 70 \text{ miles per hour}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The car shift is [tex]31,492-31,247 = 245 \text{ miles}[/tex]

Time passed: [tex]3.5 \text{ h}[/tex]

Once Speed is [tex]$\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} $[/tex]

[tex]$\text{Speed} =\frac{\text{245}}{\text{3.5}} $[/tex]

[tex]\text{Speed} = 70 \text{ miles per hour}[/tex]
