Answer 1

Answer:

60.1509 miles per hour

Round to the nearest tenth is 60.2 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a car travels 956.4 miles in 15.9 hours.

We have to find the average speed of the car in miles per hour.

Now, the average speed of a moving object is given by  

Average Speed= Total Distance Travelled/ Total Time Taken.

Hence, the average speed of the car = (956.4/15.9) miles per hour

                                                              = 60.1509 miles per hour. (Answer)

If we round the answer to the nearest tenth then, the average speed will be 60.2 miles per hour. (Answer)
