Question

Maegan bought a new small car and drove 3000 miles in the first 4 months. At the same rate, how many miles will Maegan drive in 6 years? Round your answer to the nearest mile.

Answer 1

To find out how many miles Maegan will drive in 6 years, we can use the information given.

In the first 4 months, Maegan drove 3000 miles. To find the rate at which she is driving, we can divide the total distance by the total time.

Since there are 12 months in a year, we can find the rate per month by dividing 3000 miles by 4 months:

3000 miles / 4 months = 750 miles per month.

Now, to find the rate per year, we can multiply the rate per month by 12 (the number of months in a year):

750 miles/month * 12 months/year = 9000 miles per year.

So, Maegan is driving at a rate of 9000 miles per year.

To find out how many miles she will drive in 6 years, we can multiply the rate per year by the number of years:

9000 miles/year * 6 years = 54,000 miles.

Therefore, Maegan will drive approximately 54,000 miles in 6 years.
