Question

To paint the murals, artist from all over the world were invited. If an artist covered a distance of 3724 miles in 49 hours, her speed must have been

• A. 86 miles per hour
• B. 76 miles per hour
• C. 66 miles per hour
• D. 56 miles per hour

Answer 1

The correct option is B 76 miles per hour

Total distance to be covered = 3724 miles.
Total time spent = 49 hours.

We know,
$Speed=\frac{Totaldistance}{Totaltime}$

So, in the case of the artist,

$Speed=\frac{3724miles}{49hours}$

∴ To find the speed, we have to divide 3724 miles by 49 hours.

Calculating $3724÷49$ by standard algorithm, we get:


So, the final quotient of $3724÷49$ is $70+6=76$

∴ The speed at which the artist covered $3724miles$ is
$76milesperhour$.
