Try to remember Speed = Distance/Time Using cross multiplication you can also make Time = Distance/Speed and Speed x Time = Distance 600 miles in 9 hours: 600/9 = 66.67 mph

just look at the units. MPH = miles per hour = miles divide by hours. You should be able to do the rest.

Divide the number of miles by the number of hours So for this 600miles/9hours = 66 2/3 mph

Ans. the average speed=600/9=66.67 mph approximately.

600 divided by 9 = 66.6. But they probably made a couple of pit stops along the way so maybe 70 mph.

Are you stupid? 600 divided by 9.
