Question

after 3.5 hours, Pasha had traveled 217 miles. if she travels ata constant speed, how far will she have traveled after 4 hours?

Answer 1

Pasha travels 62 miles in an hour (217 divided by 3.5 is 62). So, 62 times 4 hours is 248. So, in 4 hours, she would have traveled 248 miles

Answer 2

Answer:

248 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that after 3.5 hours, Pasha had traveled 217 miles.

First of all, we will find distance traveled by Pasha per hour by dividing 217 by 3.5.

$\text{Pasha's driving rate}=\frac{\text{217 miles}}{\text{3.5 hours}}$

$\text{Pasha's driving rate}=\frac{\text{62 miles}}{\text{hour}}$

Now, we will multiply 62 by 4 as:

$\text{Distance covered by Pasha in 4 hours}=\frac{\text{62 miles}}{\text{hour}}\times 4\text{ hours}$

$\text{Distance covered by Pasha in 4 hours}=\text{62 miles}\times 4$

$\text{Distance covered by Pasha in 4 hours}=\text{248 miles}$

Therefore, Pasha will travel 248 miles in 4 hours.
