Answer 1

He will travel 520 miles in 8 hours.

Explanation:

Given : A man drove his car a distance of 260 miles in 4 hours. If continuing at this rate is possible,

To find : he will travel ____ miles in 8 hours.

Solution : We have given

Distance = 260 miles.

Time = 4 hour.

In 4 hour he cover = 260 miles.

In 1 hour he cover =
`(260)/(4)`.

In 1 hour he cover = 65 miles .

So, In 8 hour he cover = 65 * 8 = 520 miles.

Therefore, He will travel 520 miles in 8 hours.
