Answer:

The average speed is:

[tex]\var{v}=75\: miles/h[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The average speed equation is given by:

[tex]\var{v}=\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}[/tex]

Were:

  • Δx is the displacement (225 miles)
  • Δt is the change in time (3 hours)

Then we have:

[tex]\var{v}=\frac{225}{3}[/tex]

[tex]\var{v}=75\: miles/h[/tex]

I hope it helps you!
