The distance D in miles that a car travels in t hours at a rate of 72 miles per hour is given by the equation d=72t. What is the best estimate of how far a car travels in 4 hours? Please Help Me God Bless Y'all.....​

Answer 1

Therefore a car travelled 288 miles in 4 hours.

Explanation:

Given:

The car travels at the rate of 72 mph

Equation is given by

`d=72t`

To Find:

How far a car travels in 4 hours = ?

Solution:

Distance covered is equal to the product of speed and time.

`Distance=Speed* Time`

We have

`d=72t` .............Given

where,

d = distance

t= time

So at t = 4 hours

`d=72* 4=288\ miles`

Therefore a car travelled 288 miles in 4 hours.
