Question 308768: john travels 45 miles in 2/3 of an hour. At this same rate, how far can he travel in 2 hours?
Answer by texttutoring(324)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Use the formula d=vt, where d=distance, v=speed, and t=time
d=45 miles
t=2/3 hr
v= ?
v=d/t
v=45/(2/3)
v=45*3/2
v=67.5 mph
Now use this rate, with t=2 hours to solve for a new distance:
d=vt
d=(67.5)(2)
d=135 miles
In two hours, John will travel 135 miles.
