Question

Ashley is driving towards her friend's house in another town at 34 miles per hour. She departs from her house at 2:00 PM and arrives at 3:30 PM. How far away is her friend's house? Assume that she travels at a constant speed of 34 mph.

Answer 1

Explanation:

speed = distance / time

distance = speed × time

she drives for 1.5 hours (2pm to 3:30pm) at a speed of 34 m/h.

so

1.5 h × 34 m/h = x miles

1.5 × 34 m = x miles

x = 51 miles
