Question

Driving 75 mph, it takes Alicia 3 hours to reach the airport to go on a vacation. It then takes her 4 hours to get to her destination with the jet traveling at a speed of 400 mph. How many miles does Alicia travel to get to her destination?

Answer 1

1,025 miles

Explanation:

75 mph × 3 hours = 225 miles

400 mph × 2 hours = 800 miles

225 miles + 800 miles = 1,025 miles

Answer 2

She drives at a rate of 75 miles per hour for three hours, so the first thing you'd do is 75 x 3.

75 x 3= 225

So, she traveled 225 miles to the airport.

Then, she travels at a rate of 400 miles per hour for 4 hours.

4 x 400 = 1,600

That's 1600 miles she traveled from the airport to her destination.

Now to find the total number of miles traveled, add 1,600 and 225.

Total distance traveled: 1825 miles.
