Question

A driver averaged 64 mph and took 3½ hours to travel from st. Louis to chicago. Based on this, what is the distance between st. Louis and chicago

Answer 1

Average speed of the driver is given as

$v = 64 mph$

if he moved for total time t = 3.5 hours

so the distance between the tow is given as

$d = v* t$

$d = 64 * 3.5$

$d = 224 miles$

so the distance between St. Louis and Chicago is 224 miles
