Question

If Will drives 30 mph for 1.5 hours and then 40 mph for 2 hours, then how far did he drive?

Answer 1

125 miles becasue 2*40 is 80 ans 30 and a half is 30 and 15 which is 125 then addthose up adn 125

Answer 2

We know the formula for rate is distance / time.

$Rate =\frac{Distance}{Time}$

So The formula for distance shall be rate × time

Distance = rate × time.

Rate = 30 mph, Time = 1.5 h

Distance = 30 × 1.5 = 45 miles

Also for the second leg of the journey

Rate = 40 mph and time = 2 hours

Distance = 40 × 2 = 80 miles.

Total distance traveled = 45 + 80 = 125 miles

If Will drives 30 mph for 1.5 hours and then 40 mph for 2 hours, then he shall drive 125 miles.
