Question 1167234: A truck can travel 10 3/4 kilometers in one hour. How far can it travel in 2 1/3 hours
Answer by Theo(13342)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! the truck travels 10 and 3/4 kilometers in one hour.
in 2 and 1/3 hours, it will travel (2 and 1/3) * (10 and 3/4) kilometers.
2 and 1/3 = 7/3
10 and 3/4 = 43/4
7/3 * 43/4 = (7*43) / (3 * 4) = 301 / 12 kilometers.
301/12 kilometers is equal to 25 and 1/12 kilometers.
that's your solution.
the general formula that's used is rate * time = distance
his rate is 10 and 3/4 kilometers per hour.
the time is 2 and 1/3 hours.
rate * time = distance, so:
(10 and 3/4) * (2 and 1/3) = the distance traveled.
