Question

Make Sense of problem.

The ski team has a race in 3 hours and it is 120 miles away.The team drives 50 miles each hour.Will they arrive at the race on time?

Answer 1

Yes, because if they drive 50 miles each hour, then they will have driven 50
`*` 3 miles in 3 hours. This is 150 miles and since the competition is 120 miles away then they can easily make it. Providing they don't break down or stop for petrol etc...

Answer 2

Well if you are driving 50mph for 3 hours, that would give you 150 miles in 3 hours.

Since they only have 120 miles to go, they would not only arrive on time. They would be early.

Hope that helps you. :-)
