Question

Last Week we drove to Detroit. At an Average Speed Of 50 Miles Per Hour, the trip Took 4 1/4 hours. How Far Was it?

Answer 1

we know that $distance=speed *time$.

we have given the speed as 50mph. and time 4 1 /4 hours .

we knwo that 4 1 /4 =17/4 hours.

$distance=50*17/4=2125 miles$.

so he traveled 2125 miles .

Answer 2

212.5 miles

If the car is moving at 50 miles per hour, that means in 1 hour, it traveled 50 miles. In 2:100, 3:150, & 4:200. 1/4 of 50 is 12.5. So, when travelling for 4 1/4 hours, the vehicle traveled for 212.5 miles.
