Question

A car travels at an average speed of 48 miles per hour. how many miles does it travel in 5 hours and 45 minutes?

Answer 1

Answer: 275 Miles

Explanation:

1. Convert the hours into minutes:
We'll take the 5 hours and 45 minutes and divide the minutes by 60, giving you 5.75 hours.

2. Multiply the hours by the rate
The 48 mph is given to us, so we should multiply that by the converted hours we got in the first step. 5.75*48 = 275

The 272 demonstrates the number of miles that are driven in that total time span.

Answer 2

To find the distance traveled by a car given the average speed and time traveled, we can use the formula:

distance = speed x time

In this case, the average speed of the car is 48 miles per hour (mph) and the time traveled is 5 hours and 45 minutes.

Before we use this formula, we need to convert the time of 5 hours and 45 minutes into hours. Since there are 60 minutes in 1 hour, we can convert 45 minutes into hours by dividing it by 60:

45 minutes / 60 minutes/hour = 0.75 hours

Now, we can add the time in hours and minutes to get the total time traveled in hours:

5 hours + 0.75 hours = 5.75 hours

Now we can use the formula to find the distance traveled:

distance = speed x time

distance = 48 mph x 5.75 hours

distance = 277 miles

So, the car travels 277 miles in 5 hours and 45 minutes.
