Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Average speed is calculated by dividing the total distance by the total time. 
Average Speed = Total Distance/Total Time
= 39.8 miles / 2.16 hours
= 18.4 mi/hr (rounded to the nearest tenth) Average speed = total distance ÷ total time

= 39.8 miles ÷ 2.16 hours

= 18.4 miles/hour (rounded to the nearest tenth)
