Problema Solution
Joseph drives 125 miles in 2 1/2 hours. At the same rate, how far will he be able to travel in 6 hours?
Answer provided by our tutors
Firs we will find Joseph's average rate:
v = 125/2.5 (since 2 1/2 = 2.5 and average rate = distance/speed)
v = 50 mph
We need to find the distance d in t = 6 hr:
d = v*t
d = 50*6
d = 300 mi
In 6 hours Joseph will travel 300 miles.
