Given the statement:
Jason traveled 24 3/4 miles in 1/2 hour.
d = 24 ¾ miles or 24.75 miles
t = ½ hour or 0.5 hour
Determine the average speed.
Formula for average speed:
Vave = d/t
Solution:
Substitute the values of the distance and time in order to find for the average speed.
Vave = 24.75 mi /0.5 h
Vave = 49.5 mi/h
Final answer:
Vave = 49.5 mi/h
