Question

On a family road trip, Mr. Edwards travels 130 miles in two hours. At this rate, how many miles will he travel in 30 minutes? (watch the time on this one!) Group of answer choices

Answer 1

32.5 miles in 30 minutes.

Explanation:

There are a total of 4 - 30 minute segments in a period of two hours. Therefore, in this question, we can simply divide the total distance that Mr Edwards travelled during those two hours by the 4 segments, and that would give us the distance travelled in a single segment of 30-minutes.

130 / 4 = 32.5 miles

Finally, we can see that Mr Edwards travelled 32.5 miles in 30 minutes.
