Tom went on a bike ride to the store 3 miles away. If it took Tom 12 of an hour to get there and 23 of an hour to get back, what was his average rate of speed (miles per hour) for the entire trip?

0.1714 miles / hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Distance to the store = 3 miles

Time taken to get to store = 12 hours

Time taken to return = 23 hours

The average rate of speed for the trip =?

Average Speed = total distance traveled / total time taken

Total distance traveled = 2 × 3 miles = 6 miles

Total time taken = 12 + 23 = 35 hours

Average speed = 6 miles / 35 hours

Average speed = 0.1714 miles / hour

the answer would be 484

step-by-step explanation:

just multiply 0.484 times 1,000 (formula)

the answer would be c:   ax + b = ax + c
