Amail truck traveled 82 miles in 412 hours. the distance is the product of the rate and the time. to the nearest tenth, what was the average speed of the mail truck? enter your answer in the box.

In this case, you are given the distance truck traveled(82 miles) and the time needed to do that( 412 hours). If you asked the speed/velocity of the truck, then the equation would be:

speed= distance / time
speed= 82 miles/ 412 hours
speed= 0.199= 0.2 mile/hour
