Question

To find the distance an object has traveled, you use the formula D=RT; where D=distance, R=rate and T=time. Find how far a person drove if he traveled at a rate of 55 miles per hour for 5 hours. A. 11 miles B. 110 miles C. 275 miles D. 385 miles

Answer 1

D =275 miles

Explanation:

The rate is 55 miles per hour and the time is 5 hours

D = RT

D = 55*5

D =275 miles

Answer 2

C. 275 miles

Explanation:

D = RT

We have R and T already, so

Step 1: Replace variables

D = (55mph)(5 hours)

Step 2: Solve

D = 275 miles

And we have our answer!
