Question

The distance an object travels is determined by how fast it goes and for how long it moves. If an object’s speed remains constant, the formula is d=r^t, where d is the distance, r is the speed, and t is the time.

If you drive at 50 miles per hour for 5 hours, how far will you have traveled?

a.
200 miles
b.
10 miles
c.
250 miles
d.
300 miles

Answer 1

Well since you are already given the formula, this will be very easy.
d = r * t
r = 50 mph
t = 5 hours
d = 250 miles
In five hours at a constant speed of 50 miles per hour, you would have traveled 250 miles.

Answer 2

c. 250 miles.

Explanation:

We have been given a formula of
`d=r*t`, where d is the distance, r is the speed, and t is the time.

To find the distance traveled in 5 hours at a rate of 50 miles per hour, we will substitute our given values in distance formula as:

`d=\frac{50\text{ Miles}}{\text{Hour}}*\text{5 hours}`

`d=50\text{ Miles}*5`

`d=250\text{ Miles}`

Therefore, we have traveled a distance of 250 miles.
