Question: 1 / 400

If a car travels 60 miles in 1.5 hours, what is its average speed in miles per hour?

30 miles/hour

40 miles/hour

To determine the average speed of the car, you can use the formula for speed, which is:

\[ \text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} \]

In this case, the distance traveled by the car is 60 miles, and the time taken is 1.5 hours. Plugging in these values gives:

\[ \text{Speed} = \frac{60 \text{ miles}}{1.5 \text{ hours}} \]

Dividing 60 by 1.5 results in:

\[ \text{Speed} = 40 \text{ miles per hour} \]

Thus, the average speed of the car is 40 miles per hour. This value matches the answer provided. Understanding how to calculate average speed using distance and time is crucial for solving similar problems involving motion and speed in various contexts.
