A car travels 370 miles in 2 hours. What is its average speed?

The average speed is 185 mph.

How to work it out

  1. 1

    Write down what you know: distance d = 370 miles, time t = 2 hours. You are asked for the speed v.

  2. 2

    Use the formula speed = distance ÷ time:

    v=dt=3702=185v = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{370}{2} = 185
  3. 3

    Answer with the unit: 185 mph.

  4. 4

    The same formula rearranged: distance = speed × time (185 × 2 = 370 miles) and time = distance ÷ speed (370 ÷ 185 = 2 hours).
