Answer 1

To find the distance Carolina traveled, we multiply her speed of 352 mph by the time of 3.2 hours, which equals 1126.4 miles, rounded to 1126 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the word problem using the formula d = r·t (where d stands for distance, r stands for rate or speed, and t stands for time), let's plug in Carolina's travel details on the maglev in Japan. She travels at a rate of 352 mph for a time of 3.2 hours. To calculate how far she traveled, we multiply her speed by the time:

d = r·t

= 352 mph · 3.2 hours

= 1126.4 miles.

Therefore, Carolina traveled 1126.4 miles, which we round to 1126 miles as the closest answer choice.
