A car traveled 266 miles in 4 hours and 45 minutes. How many miles does it travel per hour?
To find the miles per hour, you need to convert the time to hours.
45 minutes is 45/60 = 0.75 hours.
So the total time in hours is 4 + 0.75 = 4.75 hours.
To find the miles per hour, you can divide the total distance traveled by the time in hours:
266 miles / 4.75 hours = 56 miles per hour.
Therefore, the car travels 56 miles per hour.
To find the number of miles the car travels per hour, we need to convert the time traveled to hours and then divide the total distance by that time.
First, let's convert the time traveled from 4 hours 45 minutes to hours.
We know that 1 hour is equal to 60 minutes, so 45 minutes is equal to 45/60 hours, which simplifies to 0.75 hours.
Now we can add the 4 hours to the 0.75 hours to get the total travel time in hours: 4 + 0.75 = 4.75 hours.
Next, we divide the total distance traveled, which is 266 miles, by the total travel time of 4.75 hours.
266 miles / 4.75 hours = 56 miles per hour.
Therefore, the car travels at an average speed of 56 miles per hour.
To find the number of miles the car travels per hour, you need to divide the total distance traveled by the total time taken.
First, let's convert the given time of 4 hours and 45 minutes into hours. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, we can convert the 45 minutes into hours by dividing it by 60:
45 minutes ÷ 60 = 0.75 hours
Next, we add the converted minutes to the given 4 hours:
4 hours + 0.75 hours = 4.75 hours
Now that we have the total time in hours, we can calculate the car's speed by dividing the total distance traveled by the total time:
266 miles ÷ 4.75 hours = 56 miles per hour
Therefore, the car travels at a speed of 56 miles per hour.
