Math Problem Statement
We drove 210.5 miles in 2.5 hours. How far did we drive in 1 hour?
Solution
To find out how far you drove in 1 hour, you can calculate the average speed by dividing the total distance by the total time.
Formula:
Substituting the given values:
Calculation:
Thus, you drove 84.2 miles in 1 hour.
