A car traveled 360 miles in 4 hours and 30 minutes. What was it's speed in miles per hour?

80

it's 80mph

Well, let's calculate that, shall we?

If the car traveled 360 miles in 4 hours and 30 minutes, we need to convert the minutes to hours.

There are 60 minutes in an hour, so 30 minutes is half an hour.

4 hours and 30 minutes is equivalent to 4.5 hours.

Now, let's divide the distance traveled (360 miles) by the time taken (4.5 hours).

360 miles divided by 4.5 hours is... drum roll, please... 80 miles per hour!

So, the car's speed was 80 miles per hour. Remember, in a race against a clown car, always bet on the one with the red nose!

To calculate the speed, we need to divide the distance traveled by the time taken.

First, we need to convert the time of 4 hours and 30 minutes to hours. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, we can convert the 30 minutes to hours by dividing it by 60.

30 minutes ÷ 60 = 0.5 hours

Therefore, the total time in hours is:

4 hours + 0.5 hours = 4.5 hours

Now, we can calculate the speed by dividing the distance traveled (360 miles) by the time (4.5 hours):

Speed = Distance ÷ Time
Speed = 360 miles ÷ 4.5 hours

Using simple division:

Speed = 80 miles per hour

So, the speed of the car was 80 miles per hour.

360/4.5 = _________ mph
