Problema Solution
Carter and his family are driving from Atlanta to Raleigh. They drive for 2 hours and 45 minutes at an average speed of 60 miles per hour. How far did Carter and his family travel in that time?
Answer provided by our tutors
let
t = 2 hr 45 min = 2 + 45/60 hr = 2.75 hr
v = 60 mph the average speed
d = the distance
since v = d/t we have
d/2.75 = 60
by solving we find:
d = 165 mi
