Answer:
The average rate of speed is 65.33 miles per hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
Total Distance = 196 miles
Time required = 180 minutes.
Now time is given in minutes we need to convert in hours.
60 minutes = 1 hours
180 minutes = number of hours in 180 mins
By using Unitary method we get;
Number of hours in 180 mins = [tex]\frac{180}{60}=3 \ hrs[/tex]
Hence Time taken = 3 hrs
We need to find the speed.
Speed can be calculate by dividing Total distance with Time taken to travel the distance.
Speed = [tex]\frac{Distance}{Time}=\frac{196}{3}= 65.33\ miles \ per\ hour[/tex]
Hence the average rate of speed is 65.33 miles per hour.
