A corvette travels 205 miles in 3 hours. If the speed limit was 70 mph was the driver speeding?
To determine if the driver was speeding or not, we need to calculate the average speed of the Corvette. The formula to calculate average speed is distance divided by time:
Average Speed = Distance / Time
In this case, the distance traveled is 205 miles and the time taken is 3 hours. Plugging these values into the formula:
Average Speed = 205 miles / 3 hours
Average Speed ≈ 68.33 mph
The average speed of the Corvette was approximately 68.33 mph. Since the speed limit was 70 mph, the driver was not speeding.
