Question

Driving 70 mph, it takes Alicia 2 hours to reach the airport to go on a vacation. It then takes her 2 hours to get to her destination with the jet traveling at a speed of 400 mph. How many miles does Alicia travel to get to her destination? A. 540 miles B. 470 miles C. 940 miles D. 870 miles

Answer 1

She drove 2 hours at 70 miles per hour, so she drove 70 * 2 = 140 miles total.

The jet traveled 400 miles per hour for 2 hours for a total of 400 * 2 = 800 miles.

Total miles = 140 + 800 = 940 miles.

The answer is C.
