Answer 2

Answer:

165 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been Carter and his family are driving from o find the total Atlanta to Raleigh. They drive for 2 hours and 45 minutes at an average speed of 60 miles per hour.

To solve our given problem we will use Distance formula.

$\text{Distance}=\text{Speed*Time}$

Let us convert 45 minutes to hours by dividing 45 by 60.

$\text{45 minutes}=\frac{45}{60}\text{ hour}$

$\text{45 minutes}=0.75\text{ hour}$

Upon substituting our given values in distance formula we will get,

$\text{Distance covered by Carter family}=2.75\text{ hours}\times \frac{\text{60 miles}}{\text{Hour}}$

$\text{Distance covered by Carter family}=2.75\times\text{60 miles}$

$\text{Distance covered by Carter family}=\text{165 miles}$

Therefore, the Carter family traveled 165 miles in 2 hours and 45 minutes.
