Question

If a car with an average speed of 50 miles per hour drives for 90 minutes, how far will it have gone?

Answer 1

90 minutes = 1,5 hours
Distance = speed * time = 50 * 1.5 = 75 miles (answer).

Answer 2

Total distance covered by the car is 75 miles.

Explanation:

Given information:

Average speed of car = 50 miles per hour

Time = 90 minutes

We know that, 1 hour = 60 minutes

Using this conversion, convert the time in hours.

`Time=(90)/(60)=1.5\text{ hours}`

The formula for distance is

`Distance=Speed* Time`

`Distance=50* 1.5`

`Distance=75`

Therefore total distance covered by the car is 75 miles.
