Question

The Klein family is taken a weekend trip to their grandparents who live 134 miles away. Mr. Klein always drives at a steady rate of 60 miles per hour. After 42 minutes into the trip, the kids want to know how many more miles until they get there. Find the number of miles left to travel.

Answer 1

92 miles

Explanation:

60 miles per hour = 60 miles per 60 minutes

then,

60 miles

60 minutes

x 42 minutes = 2,520

60

= 42 miles

thus,

134 - 42 = 92 miles

hope this helped:)

Answer 2

They still have 92 more miles because 60mph is 1 mile per min so in 42 min they traveled 42 miles and 134 miles minus 42 miles is 92 miles
