Question 759464
The reason that you do not understand the answer given is because THAT answer is wrong.  You have the correct formula and studying it only requires about 5 to 7 minutes.  {R kilometers/hour} * {t hours} = R*t kilometers.


Based on that, the distance is {{{500*(2&1/2)}}} {{{(km/hr)(hr)}}}
which is 1250 kilometers.
