Question

A snowmobile traveled 32 miles in 213 hours.

The distance is the product of the rate and the time.

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

Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

Answer:

Therefore, the average speed of the snowmobile is 0.15 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A snowmobile traveled 32 miles in 213 hours.

Total Distance = 32 miles

Time = 213 hours

The distance is the product of the rate and the time.

To Find:

Average speed of the snowmobile = ?

Solution:

Average speed:

Average speed is defined as the rate of total distance covered in per unit time.

It is given as

$\textrm{Average speed }=\frac{\textrm{Total Distance}}{Time}$

Substituting the given values we get

$\textrm{Average speed of Snowmobile }=\frac{32}{213}=0.15\ mph$

Therefore, the average speed of the snowmobile is 0.15 miles per hour
