The formula d = rt gives the distance traveled in time t at rate r. A delivery truck drives for 1.5 hours and travels 76 miles.

Question

What was the average speed of the truck?

Question 5 options:

38 miles per hour

50.7 miles per hourr

74.5 miles per hour

114 miles per hour

Answer 1

The average speed of the truck can be found by dividing the distance traveled (76 miles) by the time taken (1.5 hours).

Average speed = distance/time

Average speed = 76 miles / 1.5 hours

Average speed = 50.7 miles per hour

So, the average speed of the truck is 50.7 miles per hour.
