an average speed of 62mph,
how far have you traveled?

Answer 2

232.5 miles.

Explanation:

If you were traveling at 62 miles per hour, it clearly means that you cover 62 miles in an hour. Then, if you use that data and create a rule of 3 you may find the solution for the question:

1 hour ------------ 62 miles

3.75 hours ----- x

x= (3.75 hours * 62 miles) / 1 hour

x= 232.5
