Question

Roberto's toy car travels at 40 centimeters per second (cm/sec) at high speed and 15 cm/sec at low speed. If the car travels for 25 seconds at high speed and then 45 seconds at low speed, what distance would the car have traveled?

Answer 1

1675 cm

Explanation:

distance = speed · time

total distance = speed1 · time1 + speed2 · time2

= (40 cm/s)(25 s) + (15 cm/s)(45 s) = 1000 cm + 675 cm = 1675 cm
