How to work it out

  1. 1

    Write down what you know: distance d = 410 miles, time t = 12 hours. You are asked for the speed v.

  2. 2

    Use the formula speed = distance ÷ time:

    v=dt=41012=2056=34.166667v = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{410}{12} = \frac{205}{6} = 34.166667
  3. 3

    Answer with the unit: 34.166667 mph.

  4. 4

    The same formula rearranged: distance = speed × time (34.166667 × 12 = 410 miles) and time = distance ÷ speed (410 ÷ 34.166667 = 12 hours).
