Math Question Help Please. Can you also show work, So i can learn it :D

A car travels 187 miles in 3 hours. How many miles per hour does it travel ?

So remember rate x time = distance.

Rate = distance / time
= 187 mi / 3 hrs
= 62.3 mi / hr

Technically, the question is ambiguous. You can calculate the car AVERAGED 62.33 mph over that distance, but there is insufficient data to tell how many mph it travelled at any point in time during the journey.

The correct question is: What was the average speed of the car? If you ask: How many miles per hour did it actually travel, that cannot be answered with the information provided.

ok, so you have the the distance traveled in 3 hours, to find how many miles you traveled in one hour (which is miles per hour or miles/hour) just divide 187 by 3 so 187/3 miles/hour or 65.33miles/hour

Rate (mph) = distance / time

How many miles did the car travel in all?
187 miles (distance)

How long did it take?
3 hours (time)

What is the average speed?
187 miles / 3 hours = 62 1/3 mph (rate)

Hope it helped.

187 dived it by 3 = 62.3333miles/hour
miles/hours

:)

187 miles divided by 3 hours
Sorry I don't have a cacluator around but that's how you do it!

Speed = Distance/Time = 187/3 =
62.33mph

very simple....in one hour it'll travel 187/3 that will be around 62.33
