Question

Yesterday Mrs. Lichtman drove 121 miles in 2 hours. Today she drove 3.5 hours at the same rate as yesterday. About how far did she drive today?

Answer 1

To solve this problem, you find the rate -> # miles per hour (# miles/hr)

121 miles/2 hours = 60.5 miles/1 hour

She drives at a rate of 60.5 miles per hour.

Since she drove for 3.5 hours, you can use the rate and multiply 60.5 by 30.5

60.5(3.5) = 211.75 miles

Answer 2

Answer:

211.75 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

121 miles = 2 hours

divide both sides by two to get the distance per hour

60.5 miles = 1 hour

multiply both sides by 3.5 to figure out the distance

60.5 (3.5) = 1 (3.5)

211.75 miles = 3.5 hours
