Hope this answer helps you!!

Answer 2

Answer:

50 miles / hr

Explanation:

Given :

Distance D = 400 miles

Time T = 5 hr

We have to find average speed :

We know :

Average speed = Total distance covered / Total time taken

A.S. = D / T

Putting values here we get :

Average speed = 400 / 8 miles / hr

= > Average speed = 50 miles / hr

Hence we get required answer!
