A car travels 360 miles in 11 hours. What is its average speed?

The average speed is 32.727273 mph.

How to work it out

  1. 1

    Write down what you know: distance d = 360 miles, time t = 11 hours. You are asked for the speed v.

  2. 2

    Use the formula speed = distance ÷ time:

    v=dt=36011=36011=32.727273v = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{360}{11} = \frac{360}{11} = 32.727273
  3. 3

    Answer with the unit: 32.727273 mph.

  4. 4

    The same formula rearranged: distance = speed × time (32.727273 × 11 = 360 miles) and time = distance ÷ speed (360 ÷ 32.727273 = 11 hours).
