Question

Camden drove 34 miles in 4/5 hours. On average, how fast did he drive, in miles per hour?

Answer 1

The rate at which body cover distance is given by speed.

The formual for the speed is,

$s=\frac{d}{t}$

For the given question, distance is d=34 miles and time is t=4/5 hours.

Substitute the value in the formula to obtain the speed of Camden.

$\begin{gathered} s=\frac{34\text{ miles}}{\frac{4}{5}\text{ hr}} \\ =\frac{34\cdot5}{4}\text{ miles/hr} \\ =\frac{85}{2}\text{ miles/hr} \end{gathered}$

So the speed at which camden cover distance is 85/2 miles per hour.
