Answer 2

Answer: 135 miles

Step-by-step explanation: If you've been on the road for 3 hours and you're traveling at 45 miles per hour, you end up going 135 miles.

Mathematically speaking we get that by multiplying 45 × 3 which equals 135. The 45 represents our rate, the 3 represents the number of hours or our time, and the 135 represents our 145 miles or the distance we have traveled.

So our rate × time ≈ distance.

This formula is a very popular one in algebra.
