Question

Give an example of when you would multiply to find an answer

Answer 1

Distance = Speed × Time of travel

⇒ Distance = 50 × 3.75 = 187.5 miles.

Explanation:

Here in this problem, we have to give a practical example of when we would multiply to find an answer.

Let a car is moving with a constant speed of 50 miles per hour and it reaches from point A to point B on its way within 3.75 hours. Then the distance between points A and B that we have to find.

Here we can get the distance simply by multiplying the speed and time of travel.

So, Distance = Speed × Time of travel

⇒ Distance = 50 × 3.75 = 187.5 miles. (Answer)
