Question

a car travels an average speed of 64 miles per hour. how many miles does it travel in 5 hours and 15 minutes?

Answer 1

Distance is speed or velocity multiplied by time: d = v * t

We know the speed of the car and the time it travelled, so input the two into the equation above and solve for the distance travelled.

d = v * t

d = 64 m/h * (5 hours and 15 minutes) = 64 m/h * (5.25 hours)

d = (64 * 5.25) miles


d = 336 miles
