Question

Richard drives his car for 5 hours.

His average speed is 30 mph.
(a) How far does Richard travel?
miles
Richard drives 560 km the next day.
(b) Work out how much further Richard travelled, compared to the previous day.
5 miles = 8 kilometers
miles

Answer 1

A. 150 miles

B. 200 miles further

Explanation:

Multiply 30 by 5 to find how far he traveled the first day

30 x 5 = 150 miles

For the second day, convert km to miles by making a proportion

`(5)/(8)` =
`(x)/(560)`

x = 350 miles

Then, to find the difference, subtract the 350 - 150 = 200
