The formula d = rt gives the distance traveled in time t at rate r. A delivery truck drives for 1.5 hours and travels 76 miles.
What was the average speed of the truck?
Question 5 options:
38 miles per hour
50.7 miles per hourr
74.5 miles per hour
114 miles per hour
The average speed of the truck can be found by dividing the distance traveled (76 miles) by the time taken (1.5 hours).
Average speed = distance/time
Average speed = 76 miles / 1.5 hours
Average speed = 50.7 miles per hour
So, the average speed of the truck is 50.7 miles per hour.
