Question 621891: using the formula d=rt , calculate the distance a car would travel at 80 mph for 2 1/2 hours
Answer by dragonwalker(73) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
d stands for distance
r stands for speed
t stands for time
so distance = speed x time
distance = 80 x 2.5
= 200 miles
You must check that the units used for the speed and the time are the same and take note of the distance per time unit to ensure that you are using the correct unit for the result. In this case both were using hours and the distance unit was mile. So the result was in miles.
