Question

Jordan drove for 6 hours at 55 miles per hour, while Matt drove for 3 hours at 60 miles per hour. If Isaac drove 82 miles longer than Jordan and Matt drove combined, for how many miles did Isaac drive?
--------- miles

(Hint: Rate × Time = Distance)

Answer 1

If you look at the equation, we have to multiply the hour and the mph(miles per hour) together to find how many miles they drove. For Jordan, we would have to multiply 6 times 55 which is 330. Jordan drove 330 miles. For Matt, we have to multiply 3 times 60, which gets us 180. Together, they would have drove 510 miles. If Isaac drove 82 miles longer than Jordan and Matt drove combined, we would get 582 miles. Isaac drove 592 miles.
