Question

If a car travels 45 miles in 30 min, how far will the car have traveled in 2.5 hours?

Answer 1

30 minutes is .5 of an hour. Since you want to know how far you will travel in 2.5 hours, do .5 x 5. This becomes 2.5. Since you did that to the time, you should also do that to how many miles you have travelled. So, 45 miles x 5 is 225 miles. I believe I answered correctly. Please correct me if not.

Answer 2

225 miles

Explanation:

well divide 45 by 30 to get miles per min. = 1.5

and theirs 150 min in 2 1/2 hours

so now multiply 150 by 1.5 = 225
