For example if the total distance travelled was 250 miles and the time it took was 5 hours then the average speed was 250 5 50 miles per hour mph. S 286 miles 65 hours s 286 m i l e s 65 h o u r s so the fish has. An n.
Average rate is completely different.
The triangles will help you remember these three rules. If you are traveling in a car that travels 80km along a road in one hour we say that you are traveling at an average of 80knh. Average speed is the total distance divided by the total time for the trip. For example if the total distance travelled was 250 miles and the time it took was 5 hours then the average speed was 250 5 50 miles per hour mph.
