Hello there! Thank you for asking your question here at Brainly! I will be assisting you today with answering this problem, and will teach you how to handle it on your own in the future.
First, let's take a look at our problem.
"The speed of a ship is given by D3, where D is the distance the ship travels in 3 hours. If the ship travels 48 miles in 3 hours, what is the speed of the ship?"
To solve for this, we need to understand the formula for speed.
The formula for speed is:
Speed = [tex] \frac{Distance}{Time} [/tex]
Now that we have our formula, let's define our variables.
So, we have our distance, 48 miles, and our time, 3 hours.
Let's plug in these numbers to the formula.
Speed = [tex] \frac{48}{3} [/tex]
Simplify the fraction to get the speed.
[tex] \frac{48}{3} [/tex] = 16.
Your final equation is:
Speed = 16.
Our final answer is 16 mph.
I hope this helps!
