Question

Clare travels at a constant speed, as shown on the double number line

Distance miles is 0,72,144,216

Answer 1

1. 36 miles

2. 108 miles

3. 234 miles

Explanation:

Here we have the Distance in miles, time and calculated speed as follows;

Distance (miles) Elapsed time (hours) Speed (miles/hour)

0 0 0

72 2 36

144 4 36

216 6 36

Distance = Speed (miles/hour) × Elapsed Time (hour)

Therefore, in

1. 1 hour, she travels

1 × 36 = 36 miles

2. 3 hours she travels

3 hours × 36 miles/hour = 108 miles

3. 6.5 hours she travels

6.5 hours × 36 miles/hour = 234 miles.
