A car travels 320 miles in 11 hours. What is its average speed?

The average speed is 29.090909 mph.

How to work it out

  1. 1

    Write down what you know: distance d = 320 miles, time t = 11 hours. You are asked for the speed v.

  2. 2

    Use the formula speed = distance ÷ time:

    v=dt=32011=32011=29.090909v = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{320}{11} = \frac{320}{11} = 29.090909
  3. 3

    Answer with the unit: 29.090909 mph.

  4. 4

    The same formula rearranged: distance = speed × time (29.090909 × 11 = 320 miles) and time = distance ÷ speed (320 ÷ 29.090909 = 11 hours).
