You can put this solution on YOUR website! A hovercraft flew 1700 miles in 4 hours. After a 3 hour stop, it flew another 600 miles in 3 hour [sic]. Including the stop, what was the planes [sic] average speed or rate?
--------------
d = r*t
r = d/t
----
Divide the total distance by the total time.
PS Is it a hovercraft, or a plane?

total time:
t = 4 + 3 + 3
t = 10 hours
---
total distance:
d = 1700 + 600
d = 2300 miles
---
average speed:
s = d / t
s = 2300 / 10
s = 230 mph
