A snowmobile traveled 32 miles in 2 1/3 hours.

The distance is the product of the rate and the time.

To the nearest tenth, what was the average speed of the snowmobile?


Answer :

Answer:

  • 13.7 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

  • d = st

Given:

  • d = 32 miles
  • t = 2 1/3 hr = 7/3 hr

Find the rate s:

  • s = d/t
  • s = 32÷7/3 = 32 × 3/7 = 96/7 ≈ 13.7 mph (rounded)
  • Time=2 1/3=7/3h

Speed

  • Distance/Time
  • 32/(7/3)
  • 32×3/7
  • 96/7
  • 13.7mph
