Question

Dakota’s parents will leave Norfolk, VA at 7:30 a.m. on Thursday in their personal vehicle. The average speed the vehicle will travel is 70 miles per hour. 1. Determine how long it will take the vehicle to arrive in New York City. Represent the distance traveled every hour in a table of values.

Answer 1

Time . . . . Distance

8:30 am . . . . 70 mi

9:30 am . . . . 140 mi

10:30 am . . . 210 mi

11:30 am . . . 280 mi

11:42 am . . . 294 mi

12:30 pm . . . 350 mi

12:42 pm . . . 364 mi

If the distance from Norfolk to New York is 364 miles, it will take 5 hours 12 minutes for the vehicle with an average speed of 70 mph to arrive in New York.

If a straight-line route of 294 miles is followed, it will take 3 hours 12 minutes.
