Karen drove continuously from 9:40 a.m. until 1:20 p.m. of the same day and covered a distance of 165 miles. What was her average speed in miles per hour?
No, you're not dumb! So, the time elapsed from 9:40 am to 1:20 pm is 3 hours 40 minutes.
In 3 hours 40 min = 220 min, she drove 165 miles.
165 miles / 220 min = 33 miles / 44 minutes.
Try turning that fraction into x miles / 60 minutes!
I think it's 45...
Time drivin = 3 2/3 hr
average = 165/(3 2/3) mph =......
