if a car passes mile marker 2 in 4 hours and a mile marker 125 in 6 hours, how many miles per hour is the car traveling?
speed = distance / time
clearly the car went 123 miles in 2 hours
so speed = ?????

To find the speed of the car in miles per hour, we need to determine the distance traveled in a given period of time. In this case, we know that it took 4 hours for the car to reach mile marker 2 and 6 hours to reach mile marker 125.
First, we need to find the distance between mile marker 2 and mile marker 125. We can subtract the two mile marker numbers to calculate this:
Distance = Mile Marker 125 - Mile Marker 2
Distance = 125 - 2
Distance = 123 miles
Next, we can calculate the speed of the car by dividing the total distance traveled (123 miles) by the time it took to travel that distance (6 hours):
Speed = Distance / Time
Speed = 123 miles / 6 hours
Speed ≈ 20.5 miles per hour
Therefore, the car is traveling approximately 20.5 miles per hour.
