The distance between San Francisco and Los Angeles is about 387 miles. If Takara leaves San Francisco and travels 6 hours at an average speed of 55 miles per hour, will she reach Los Angeles? How far will she travel?

She would only have travelled 330 miles since she’s travelling 55 miles per hour.

55 miles x 6 hours
= 330 miles in 6 hours

So she would not have reached Los Angeles yet, she needs to travel 57 more miles to reach there.
