Question

A schoolbus accelerates to 65 mph and enters the freeway. It travels for 2.3 hours at that speed while on the freeway. What's the distance travelled on the freeway?​

Answer 1

The distance travelled on the freeway is 149.5 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The school bus travels on the freeway at constant speed. According to the statement, we need to calculate the distance travelled by the vehicle by means of the following formula:

`x = v\cdot t` (1)

Where:

`x` - Traveled distance, in miles.

`v` - Speed, in miles per hour.

`t` - Time, in hours.

If we know that
`v = 65\,(mi)/(h)` and
`t = 2.3\,h`, then the distance travelled by the school bus is:

`x = v\cdot t`

`x = \left(65\,(mi)/(h) \right)\cdot (2.3\,h)`

`x = 149.5\,mi`

The distance travelled on the freeway is 149.5 miles.
