600
mph
Velocity is the distance traveled in a given time, or
v
=
x
t
where
v
is velocity,
x
is distance and
t
is time.
Here,
x
=
3000
and
t
=
5.0
, so
v
=
x
t
=
3000
5
=
600
Don't forget units. Since the question's data is in miles and hours, the units will be miles per hour, or mph, so
3000
miles
5
hours
=
600
miles

=
