Distance Word Problem????

Question

JaCK leaves home at 9:00 am. and drives to work , arriving at 9:45 am. if the distance between home and work is 27 mi, what is Jack's average rate of speed?

Answer 1

He drives 27 miles in 45 minutes.

27/45 = x/60

27 * 60 = 45x

1620 = 45x

36 = x

Jack's average rate of speed is 36 miles per hour.

Answer 2

36mph  

Answer 3

36 miles an hour

Answer 4

speed = distance / time

therefore speed = 27 mi / 0.75 hours

speed = 36 mph

this is a math problem - not geography

Answer 5

Average Speed = Distance Covered/Total time elapse

Average Speed = 27 mi/45min

Average Speed = 0.6 mi/min or

(0.6 mi/min)(60 min/hr) = 36 mi/hr   answer

Hope this helps.
