- A. 52 miles per hour
- B. 50 miles per hour
- C. 46 miles per hour
- D. 48 miles per hour
Answer: D
Explanation:
To find the average rate of speed (mph), dividethedistance he covered by the time he spent traveling(R = D;T).In this example, begin by finding the distance traveled.
120+ 120 = 240miles (distance)
Next find the length of rime he traveled.
At the beginning of his trip, he drove 120 miles at 40 mph.
120 / 40 = 3 hours (first part of trip)
Later, he increased his speed.
120 / 60 = 2 hours (second part of trip)
Altogether, he traveled for 5 hours. Now apply the formula for finding his average rate of speed D / T = 240
/ 5 = 48 mph (rate of speed)
