Question

If Andy drove 84 miles in 1 hour and 45 minutes, how many miles can he drive in 5 hours?

Answer 1

He would be able to drive 240 miles in 5 hours.

Explanation:

45 minutes is 75% of an hour, so dividing 84 miles by 1.75 hours gets you 48 miles per hour. If you then multiply 48 mph by 5 hours you will get the correct answer of 240 miles.
