Question

Beth traveled for 8 hours and arrived at her destination 480 miles away. How far would Beth have traveled if she had continued on her trip for 2 additional hours? Name two different rates that can used in solving this problem.

Answer 1

She'd have travelled 120 extra miles, 600 miles in total.

Explanation:

480 : 8 = 60 --> 60 miles per hour

60 x 10 = 600 --> 600 miles in 10 hours at that speed

600 - 480 = 120 --> extra miles in the extra two hours at that speed
