A car travels 150 miles in 3 hours at a steady speed. What is its speed in miles per hour?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: D. 50 miles per hour

  1. Step 1: Speed = distance divided by time. Step 2. 150 / 3 = 50 miles per hour. Answer: 50 miles per hour. Why not the others: 450 miles per hour: this multiplies distance by time. 0.02 miles per hour: this divides time by distance. 147 miles per hour: this subtracts the time from the distance.
