Question

What is Ed's mean speed if he bikes 48.6 miles in 2.7 hours? Round your answer to two decimal places, if necessary.

Answer 1

EXPLANATION

Since we have that Ed bikes 48.6 miles, dividing this number by the number of hours will give us the mean speed as shown as follows:

$\text{Mean spped = }\frac{48.6\text{ miles}}{2.7\text{ hours}}=18\text{ }\frac{miles}{\text{hour}}$

In conclusion, the mean speed is 18 miles/hour
