Question

Jacob drive for 4 hours at 23 miles per hour, how far did he travel?

Answer 1

4 x 23 = 92 miles

distance = speed x time

Answer 2

Jacob traveled 92 miles.

Solution:

Given:

Speed of Jacob = 23 miles per hour

Time traveled = 4 hours

To find: The distance traveled

Distance travelled can be calculated by multiplying the speed and the time traken to cover the distance. Mathematically the formula is

$\bold{D=s\times t}$

where D is distance, s is speed and t is time.

Here s is 23 and t is 4, On substituting the value we get,

$\bold{Distance=23\times4=92}$

The distance = 92 miles
