A car travels 370 miles in 6 hours. What is its average speed?

The average speed is 61.666667 mph.

v = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{370}{6} = 61.666667\ \text{mph}

How to work it out

1
Write down what you know: distance d = 370 miles, time t = 6 hours. You are asked for the speed v.
2
Use the formula speed = distance ÷ time:
$v = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{370}{6} = \frac{185}{3} = 61.666667$
3
Answer with the unit: 61.666667 mph.
4
The same formula rearranged: distance = speed × time (61.666667 × 6 = 370 miles) and time = distance ÷ speed (370 ÷ 61.666667 = 6 hours).
