On a trip mrs. ahmed drove 188 miles in 4 hours. On the return trip, she took a different route and traveled 197 miles in 4.5 hours. What was the average rate of speed for the trip?

45.29 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed is the distance over time.  To find the average rate of speed for a trip, we simply need to take the total distance divided by the total time.

Avg. Speed = (188 miles + 197 miles) / (4 hours + 4.5 hours)

Avg. Speed = 45.29 miles per hour

Hence the average rate of speed for the trip was 45.29 miles per hour.

Cheers.

≅45.29

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

To find the average rate speed we need to add all the same number.

188 + 197 = 385

4 + 4.5 = 8.5

Now to find the average rate we do,

385 ÷ 8.5 ≅ 45.29

Hope this helps :)
