Question

Ed is on a road trip. He has already traveled 211 miles and is driving at a rate of 63 miles per hour. Which equation could be used to find how many hours, x, Ed has left in his road trip if he is traveling 638 total miles? A. 211x + 638 = 63 B. 211x + 63 = 638 C. 63x + 211 = 638 D. 63x + 638 = 211

Answer 1

Answer:

Option C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance already traveled by Ed $=211$ miles

Also, Ed is driving at a rate of 63 miles per hour.

Distance $=$ Speed × Time

Distance traveled by Ed in $x$ hours $=63x$

Total distance traveled by Ed $=211+63x$

Also, total distance traveled by Ed is $638$ miles.

Therefore,

$638=211+63x$

Option C is correct.
