Question

George is driving at an average speed of 62 miles per hour. Write an expression that would give his distance traveled for h hours. Make a table that records his distance for 3, 5.5, 7, and 8.5 hours.

Answer 1

Time (hrs) Distance
3 186 mi
5.5 341 mi
7 434 mi
8.8 545.6 mi

Answer 2

Given : George is driving at an average speed of 62 miles per hour.

To Find : Write an expression that would give his distance traveled for h hours.

Solution:

Speed = 62 miles/hour

Time = h hours

`Distance = Speed * Time`

`Distance = 62h`

So, an expression that would give his distance traveled for h hours is
`Distance = 62h`

Now we are supposed to Make a table that records his distance for 3, 5.5, 7, and 8.5 hours.

So, At h = 3

`Distance = 62(3)`

`Distance = 186`

So, At h = 5.5

`Distance = 62(5.5)`

`Distance = 341`

So, At h = 7

`Distance = 62(7)`

`Distance =434`

So, At h = 8.5

`Distance = 62(8.5)`

`Distance =527`

So, Table :

Hours Distance (miles)

3 186

5.5 341

7 434

8.5 527
