To solve for the average speed, s, that Natasha needs to drive in order to make her trip in five hours, divide the distance over time or it can be written as s= d/t. Since Natasha is driving 300 miles and wants to make the trip in 5 hours, her average speed can be calculated by substituting the values using the formula s= d/t.
> s= d/t
> s= 300 miles/5 hours
> s= 60 miles/hour.
Natasha need to drive with an average speed of 60 miles/hour to travel 300 miles in 5 hours to make the trip.
