Question

the Martinez family travels at an average rate of 65 miles per hour in the Anderson family travels at an average rate of 70 miles per hour how far does each Family Travel after 7 hours

Answer 1

455 miles and 490miles

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1

let

time=7 hours

`\text{rate}_(martInez)=65\text{ }(mi)/(h)`

to find the distance, multiply the rate by the time

`\begin{gathered} \text{distance= rate}\cdot\text{ time} \\ dis\tan ce_1=65(mi)/(h)\cdot7\text{ hours} \\ dis\tan ce_2=455\text{ miles} \end{gathered}`

distance of Martinez family is 455 miles

Step 2

Let

time= 7 hours

`\text{rate}_{\text{anderson}}=70\text{ }(mi)/(h)`

find the distance,

`\begin{gathered} \text{distance= rate}\cdot\text{ time} \\ \text{distance}_2=70(mi)/(h)\cdot7\text{ hours} \\ \text{distance}_2=490\text{ miles} \end{gathered}`

I hope this helps you
