Question 555279: If you go 150 km in 2 hours, what is your average speed?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
D=rt Start with the distance-rate-time formula.


150=r%2A2 Plug in D=150 and t=2.


150%2F2=r Divide both sides by 2 to isolate 'r'.


75=r Divide 150%2F2 to get 75.


r=75 Rearrange the equation.


So the average speed is 75 kilometers per hour.
