The speed limit is 55mph. How far can you travel in 3 hours going the speed limit? How far can you travel if you went 5 miles over the speed limit?

Answer 1

165miles

180miles

Explanation:

If going 55mph for 3 hours,

55miles/hour * 3hour = 165miles

If going 60mph (5 over the limit) for 3 hours:

60miles/hour * 3hour = 180miles

Answer 2

If you were going the speed limit, after 3 hrs, you would go 165 miles.

If you were going 5 miles above the speed limit you would go 180 miles.

55 x 3 = 165

55 + 5 = 60

60 x 3 = 180
