Question

Sally travels by car from one city to another. She drives for 30 min at 80 km/hr, 12.0 min at 105 km/hr, and 45 min at 40.0 km/hr. What was the total distance traveled?

Answer 1

Given :

Sally travels by car from one city to another. She drives for 30 min at 80 km/hr, 12.0 min at 105 km/hr, and 45 min at 40.0 km/hr.

To Find :

The total distance traveled.

Solution :

Total distance traveled is given as sum :

Distance = sum of product of speed and time

D = (v₁ × t₁) + (v₂ × t₂) + (v₃ × t₃)

Putting all given value in this we get :

`D = 80* (30)/(60) + 105 * (12)/(60) + 40* (45)/(60)\\\\D = 91\ km`

Hence, this is the required solution.
