Question

Milan drove 576 miles in 8 hours. At the same rate, how many miles would he drive in 12 hours?

Answer 1

`864\text{ mi}`

Step-by-step explanation

First, we have to find the rate at which he drove. To do this, divide the distance he drove by the time taken. That is:

`\begin{gathered} R=(576)/(8) \\ R=72\text{ mi/h} \end{gathered}`

Now, find the distance that he will be able to drive applying the same formula:

`\begin{gathered} R=(D)/(t) \\ \Rightarrow72=(D)/(12) \\ D=864\text{ mi} \end{gathered}`

That is the distance he will be able to drive at the same rate.
