Given:
d = 21.6 miles
t = 2.7 hours
Determine how many miles travelled per hour.
Formula for velocity.
v = d/t
Solution:
We can determine the distance travelled in one hour by taking the velocity of the car.
v = d/t
v = 21.6 miles/2.7 hours
v = 8 miles/hour
d = (8 miles/hour)(1 hour)
d =8 miles
Final answer:
The car travels 8 miles in 1 hour.
