A car travels on the freeway at an average speed of 54 miles per hour,How many miles does it travel in 3 hours 40 minutes
First convert the time to hours.
3hr + 40 min*(1hr/60min)
3hr+40%2F60%29hr
3hr+2%2F3hr
3%283%2F3%29hr%2B%282%2F3%29hr
%289%2F3%29hr%2B%282%2F3%29hr
%2811%2F3%29hr
The distance formula is:
highlight%28d=rt%29, where d=distance, r=rate, and t=time.
r=54mi/hr and t=11/3hr
d=%2854mi%2Fhr%29%2A%2811hr%2F3%29
d=%2818%2A11%29mi
highlight%28d=198mi%29
Happy Calculating!!!!
