Question

If a car with an average speed of 40 miles per hour drives for 45 minutes how far will it have gone

Answer 1

Answer: $30\ miles$

Step-by-step explanation:

The average speed of the car is 40 miles per hour:

$V=40\ \frac{mi}{h}$

The car drives for 45 minutes:

$t=45\ min$

Since 1 hours has 60 minutes, we can convert the time from minutes to hours:

$(45\ min)(\frac{1\ h}{60\ min})=0.75\ h$

Knowing these values, we can use the following formula for calculate the distace "d":

$d=V*t$

Therefore, substituting values into the formula, we get:

$d=(40\ \frac{mi}{h})(0.75\ h)\\\\d=30\ mi$
