A car traveled 281 miles in 4 hours 41 minutes. What was the average speed of the car in miles per hour?​

Answer 1

Answer:

According to the question,

Distance = 281 miles

Time= 4 hour 41 minutes

So we'll convert it to hour

Steps: First, we need to find out how many total minutes there are in 4 hours and 41 minutes. To do that, we multiply 4 hours by 60 and then add 41 minutes.

${4 \times 60 = 240} \\ \\ 240 + 41 = 281 \\ \\ = \frac{281}{ 60} \\ \\ = 4.68$

Formula of speed

$= \frac{ \sf \: distance}{ \sf \: time} \\ \\ = \frac{281}{4.68}$

= 60 mph
