Since she goes 50 mph for 4 and a half hours, we multiply 50 by 4 1/2

50 * 4 1/2 = 225

She travels 225 miles. Hope this helps!

As per problem, we have

Average speed of car =50 miles per hour.

Time =
4(1)/(2) hr

Given formula to use is


d=rt


\text{where d=distance traveled, r=Average speed, t= time}\\

So, to find the distance traveled can be find by substituting the values in the above equation we get


d=50*4(1)/(2)\\\\d=50*(9)/(2)\\\\d=25*9\\\\d=225 \ miles\\

Hence distance traveled =225 miles.
