Please help with the following question. I am not sure whatequation to use. You can determine the speed of the car by measuring the timeit takes to travel between mile markers on a highway. How many seconds should elapse between two consective milemarkers if the car's average speed is 65ml/hr? What is the car's average speed if it takes 65 s to travelbetween the mile markers? Thanks for any help!!! Please help with the following question. I am not sure whatequation to use.

Explanation / Answer
d = v t where v is velocity or speed, d isdistance, and t is time. solve for t using algebra to get t = d/ v = 1 miles / (65 miles/hr )= 0.0153846 hour and then multiply thisby 3600 sec/hr to convert the time answer to seconds, whichgives 55.38 sec. final answer. For the second part, v = d / t = 1 mile / 65 sec= 0.015384615 miles/sec and then multiply thisresult by 3600 sec/hr to convert the average speed to miles/hr andget a final answer of 55.38miles/hr.
