Question

On Emilia's trip from home to her Grandma's house, she averages a speed of 47.6 mi/hr. The trip lasts 90.0 minutes (1.5 hour). What is the distance from Emilia's home to Grandma's house (in miles)

Answer 1

The distance from Emilia's home to her Grandma's house is 71.4 miles, calculated by multiplying her average speed of 47.6 mi/hr by the trip duration of 1.5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance from Emilia's home to her Grandma's house, we need to use the average speed and the duration of the trip. The formula for distance is:

Distance = Speed × Time

We are given:

• Average Speed = 47.6 mi/hr
• Duration = 90.0 minutes

First, we need to convert the duration from minutes to hours because the speed is in miles per hour:

90.0 minutes ÷ 60 minutes/hour = 1.5 hours

Now we can calculate the distance:

Distance = 47.6 mi/hr × 1.5 hours = 71.4 miles

Therefore, the distance from Emilia's home to her Grandma's house is 71.4 miles.
