A car travels 340 miles in 11 hours. What is its average speed?

The average speed is 30.909091 mph.

How to work it out

  1. 1

    Write down what you know: distance d = 340 miles, time t = 11 hours. You are asked for the speed v.

  2. 2

    Use the formula speed = distance ÷ time:

    v=dt=34011=34011=30.909091v = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{340}{11} = \frac{340}{11} = 30.909091
  3. 3

    Answer with the unit: 30.909091 mph.

  4. 4

    The same formula rearranged: distance = speed × time (30.909091 × 11 = 340 miles) and time = distance ÷ speed (340 ÷ 30.909091 = 11 hours).
