Hailee Schwartz · Answer 1

A) 107.7mph This is solved by dividing the distance by the time to see how many miles are covered over that time. 3610 divided by 33.5 = 107.7 (1st decimal place)

b) 0.009 This is done by doing the opposite. 33.6 divided by 3610

c) 2mpm because 2mph would mean he only covered 67 miles.
