Question

3. Karem drives his car 96 miles in 1 ½ hours. If Karem continues to drive at this rate, how many miles will he travel in 2 ½ hours?​

Answer 1

160 miles

Explanation:

To find the unit rate, we want to know how many miles can we go in i hour.

96 ÷ 1
`(1)/(2)`

1
`(1)/(2)` can be written

`(2)/(2)` +
`(1)/(2)` =
`(3)/(2)` 1 is the same as
`(2)/(2)`

Now we have

96 ÷
`(3)/(2)` if we get a common denominator, in this case 2, we can just divide a cross.

96 is equal to
`(192)/(2)` (
`(96)/(1)` x
`(2)/(2)`)

Now we have

`(192)/(2)` ÷
`(3)/(2)` =
`(64)/(1)` = 64

We now know the unit rate is 64 miles in one hour.

The distance in 2
`(1)/(2)` hours would be

64 + 64 +
`(1)/(2)`(64)

64 + 64 + 32

160
