Question

Alicia drove at a constant speed and traveled 182.4 miles in 3 hours. How many miles

would Alicia travel in 11 hours at the same speed?

Answer 1

`V = (182.4 mi)/(3 hr)= 60.8 (mi)/(hr)`

And then we can find the distance travelled in 11 hours with this formula:

`D = Vt`

And replacing we got:

`D = 60.8 (mi)/(hr) *11 hr =668.8 mi`

So then after 11 hours she will travel 668.8 mi

Explanation:

For this case w eknow that Alicia drove at a constant speed 182.4 mi in 3 hours. We can find the speed with this formula:

`V= (D)/(t)`

Where V is the velocity, D the distance and t the time if we replace we got:

`V = (182.4 mi)/(3 hr)= 60.8 (mi)/(hr)`

And then we can find the distance travelled in 11 hours with this formula:

`D = Vt`

And replacing we got:

`D = 60.8 (mi)/(hr) *11 hr =668.8 mi`

So then after 11 hours she will travel 668.8 mi
