Question

What is your average speed in mph if you travel 15 miles in 2 hours in 30 minutes ​

Answer 1

Answer

speed=distance /time

distance=15 miles, time= 2.5 hours

speed=15/2.5=15/25/10=150/25=6mph

6 mph is your average speed mate

Answer 2

Given : We travel 15 miles in 2 hours and 30 minutes

To find : Average speed in mph.

Solution :

We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process. (our goal is to calculate the average speed)

Now, the total time of the journey :

= 2 hours and 30 minutes

= 2 hours + 30 minutes

= 2 hours + (30/60) hour [As, 1 hour = 60 minutes]

= 2 hours + 0.5 hour

= 2.5 hours

Now, the average speed will be :

= Total distance / Total time

= 15 / 2.5

= 6 mph

(This will be considered as the final result.)

Hence, the average speed is 6 mph
