A truck travels 205 miles in

3 1/2

hours.

To the nearest tenth, what is the average speed of the delivery truck?

Enter your answer in the box.

Avg speed = total distance : total time

205 : 3.5 = 58.571 ...

round to nearest 10th 58.6 mph

If you would like to know the average speed of the delivery truck, you can calculate this using the following steps:

205 miles ... 3 1/2 hours = 7/2 hours

x miles = ? ... 1 hour

205 * 1 = 7/2 * x

205 = 7/2 * x

x = 205 * 2/7

x = 58.6 miles

The correct result would be 58.6 miles per hour.
