A car travels 380 miles in 4 hours. What is its average speed?

The average speed is 95 mph.

v = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{380}{4} = 95\ \text{mph}

How to work it out

1
Write down what you know: distance d = 380 miles, time t = 4 hours. You are asked for the speed v.
2
Use the formula speed = distance ÷ time:
$v = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{380}{4} = 95$
3
Answer with the unit: 95 mph.
4
The same formula rearranged: distance = speed × time (95 × 4 = 380 miles) and time = distance ÷ speed (380 ÷ 95 = 4 hours).
