Verified Answer :

Speed is defined as the distance per unit time.
So we can calculate the speed by :

S = Distance traveled/Time taken
S = 80 /2
S = 40 miles/hour

Answer:

Average speed of the car is 40 miles per hour

Explanation:

It is given that,

Distance covered by the car, d = 80 miles

Time taken by the car, t = 2 hours

We need to find the average speed of the car. It is given by :

\(v=\dfrac{d}{t}\)

\(v=\dfrac{80\ miles}{2\ h}\)

v = 40 miles/hour

So, the average speed of the car is 40 miles per hour. Hence, this is the required solution.
