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.
