Organize the question:

Anton's family drove 216 mi to the lake averaging 48 mi/h. On the return trip home they averaged 54 mi/h. What was the total time that Anton's family spent driving to and from the lake?

O 8. 0 h

O 8. 5 h

O 9. 0 h

O 9. 5 h

Lets do some calculating!

We first find the time it took to get to the lake:

216/48=

4.5 hours

Now find the time it took to get back to home sweet home!

216/54=

4 hours

Add them up!

4.5+4=

9.5 hours.


Therefore, its option

O 8. 0 h (not this one)

O 8. 5 h (not this one)

O 9. 0 h (not this one)

------ 9. 5 h (yes its this one)
