Question

Isaiah leaves one city at noon. He has to be at another city at 186 km away at 3:00 P.M. The speed limit the entire way is 65 km/h. Can he arrive at the second city on time? Explain your reasoning using mathematical evidence.

Answer 1

From noon to 3 pm, there are three hours so the average speed Isaiah will need to arrive in another city in 3 hours is 186/3 = 62 km/h. Since this is less than the speed limit, Isaiah can go an average speed between 62 km/h to 65 km/h to arrive at the second city on time.
