Find the distance driven, if you drive at 60 mph for 3 1/2 hours. Round to the nearest whole mile.
Solution:
The formula for finding distance traveled at a given speed is:
Distance = Speed × time taken to cover the given distance
In the given problem speed = 60 mph (miles per hour)
The time taken to cover the distance is 3.5 hours.
Hence the distance travelled = 60 × 3.5 = 210 miles
In other words, 210 miles of distance was covered in three and a half hours while driving at a speed of 60 miles per hour.
If the speed decreases to 50 miles per hour then the distance of 210 miles can be covered in :
Time Taken = 210/50 = 4.2 hours
Find the distance driven, if you drive at 60 mph for 3 1/2 hours. Round to the nearest whole mile.
Summary:
If you drive at 60 mph for 3 1/2 hours the distance covered is 210 miles.
