Explanation:

Given that,

A person covers the trip of 400 mile in 8 hours.

We need to calculate the speed

Using formula of speed

$v = \dfrac{d}{t}$

Where, v = speed

d = distance

t = time

Put the value into the formula

$v = \dfrac{400}{8}$

$v=50\ miles/hr$

Hence, The speed of a trip from City A to City B is 50 miles/hr.
