Question

A car travels at an avg speed of 48 mph, how many miles does it travel in 4 hours and 15 minutes

Answer 1

The answer is 204 miles.

Explanation:

The car travels 48 miles in 1 hour.

So, 48 miles --> 1 hour

15 minutes is a 1/4 hour, or 0.25 of an hour.

This means the car is travelling for 4.25 hours.

Multiply both sides by 4.25 to get

48*4.25 miles --> 4.25 hours

204 miles for 4 hours and 15 minutes.
