Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To calculate Ted's speed, we need to use the formula:
Speed = Distance / Time
Since the total distance was 371 miles and it took him 5 hours, we can plug in these values to get:
Speed = 371 / 5
Speed = 74.2 mph
Rounding to the nearest whole number, we get:
Speed ≈ 74 mph To find Ted's speed, we need to divide the distance he traveled by the time it took him:
Speed = Distance / Time
Speed = 371 miles / 5 hours
Speed = 74.2 mph
Rounded to the nearest whole number, Ted was driving 74 mph, which corresponds to answer choice D.
