Question

Alejandra drove from Michigan to Colorado to visit her friend. The speed limit on the highway is 70 miles/hour. If Alejandra combined driving time the trip was 14 hours, how many miles Alejandra drive?

Answer 1

Answer:

980 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Method - 1

Alejandra drove her car in one hour           70 miles.

Alejandra drove her car in 14 hours             (70*14) = 980 miles.

Method - 2

To find the distance of Michigan to Colorado, we have to multiply the speed by the time.

Therefore, distance = (Time*Speed)

We can find it by this alternative way, distance = 14 hours*70 miles

                                                                              = 980  miles per hour
