You can put this solution on YOUR website! A car travels at an average speed of 56 miles per hour. How many miles does it travel in 4 hours and 15 minutes?
.
apply the "distance formula":
d = rt
where
d is distance
r is rate or speed
t is time
.
convert "4 hours and 15 minutes" to "hours":
15mins * 1hr/60mins = 15/60 = .25 hour
therefore:
"4 hours and 15 minutes" = 4.25 hours
.
d = 56 * 4.25
d = 238 miles
