Question

Leon drove 100 miles in 2 hours. C How far can Leon drive in 2 hours and 40 minutes?

Answer 1

The answer would be 133.33 to be exact

Explanation:

Answer 2

`133(1)/(3)` miles

Explanation:

If Leon can drive 100 miles in 2 hours,

He can drive
`(100)/(2)=50` miles in 1 hour.

Since there are 60 minutes in 1 hour, what fraction of an hour is 40 minutes?

`(40)/(60)=(2)/(3)` of an hour

So in 40 minutes he can drive
`(2)/(3)*50=(100)/(3)` miles

In 2 hours and 40 minutes, he can therefore drive:

`100+(100)/(3)=(400)/(3)=133(1)/(3)` miles
