Problema Solution

Tommy is diving at an average rate of 47 miles per hour. How far will he travel after six and a half hours? Round your answer to the nearest half mile.

Answer provided by our tutors

let


v = 47 mph the average rate

t = 6.5 hr the time of the travel

d = ? the distance


since the average rate = distance/time we have


v = d/t


d = v*t


d = 47*6.5


d = 305.5 mi
