Completed table:
Time Distance (miles) Miles per hour
1 55 55
1/2 27.5 55
1 1/2 82.5 55
2 110 55
Distance for 1 hour:
To find the distance for 1 hour, you don't need to do any calculations. Just look at the "Miles per hour" column and take the value, which is 55.
So, in the "Distance" column for 1 hour, write 55.
2. Distance for 1/2 hour:
Since the speed is constant at 55 mph, the distance travelled in half an hour will be half of the distance travelled in 1 hour.
Therefore, divide the distance for 1 hour (55) by 2: 55 / 2 = 27.5.
Write 27.5 in the "Distance" column for 1/2 hour.
3. Distance for 1 1/2 hours:
To find the distance for 1 1/2 hours, you can add the distances travelled in 1 hour and 1/2 hour.
55 (distance for 1 hour) + 27.5 (distance for 1/2 hour) = 82.5.
Write 82.5 in the "Distance" column for 1 1/2 hours.
4. Miles per hour for 2 hours:
The car's speed remains constant at 55 mph throughout the 2 hours.
Therefore, in the "Miles per hour" column for 2 hours, write 55.
5. Distance for 2 hours:
The distance for 2 hours is already provided in the table: 110.
