To find the average rate of speed, you need to divide the distance traveled by the time taken. In this case, the car traveled 168 miles in 3.5 hours.
So, to find the average rate of speed, you can use the following formula:
Average speed = Distance / Time
In this case, the distance is 168 miles and the time is 3.5 hours. Plugging in these values:
Average speed = 168 miles / 3.5 hours
Calculating this:
Average speed ≈ 48 miles per hour.
Therefore, the average rate of speed for the car was approximately 48 miles per hour.
