Question

Micheal is headed to his aunts house.For the first 2 hours he drives at 55 mph,the next hour he drives 70 mph,for the last 2 hours he drives 50 mph.How fare does he travel

Answer 1

Answer: He travels 280 miles.

Explanation:

Speed = Distance / Time

Distance = speed x time

Distance covered at first 2 hours at 55 mph

= distance = 55 X 2= 101 miles

Distance covered in next hour at 70mph

Distance = 70 x 1= 70 miles

Distance covered in the last 2 hours at 50mph

Distance = 50 x 2= 100 miles

Total distance traveled = 110+70+ 100= 280 miles.
