The average speed for this trip will be [tex]\rm 60 mile\ hr^{-1}[/tex]. The ratio of the total distance and time is average velocity.
The total distance traveled by an object divided by the total time taken is the average speed.
The average speed of an object indicates the pace at which it will traverse a distance. The metric unit of speed is the meter per second.
The given data in the problem is;
t is the time taken = 5 hour
d is the distance tyravelled=300 miles
The average velocity is found as;
[tex]\rm v_{avg} = \frac{d_{total}}{t{total}} \\\\\ \rm v_{avg} = \frac{300}{5} \\\\ \rm v_{avg} = 60 mile\ hr^{-1}[/tex]
Hence the average speed for this trip will be [tex]\rm 60 mile\ hr^{-1}[/tex]
