Question

Trevor is racing his dirt bike at about 30 miles per hour . If he keeps up this rate for an hour and a half ,how many miles will he travel ?

Answer 1

Answer: He will travel 45 miles in an hour and a half.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Speed at which Trevor is racing his dirt bike = 30 miles per hour

Time taken to keep up this rate = an hour and a half

and it is expressed as

$1\frac{1}{2}=\frac{3}{2}\ hours$

Now, Distance covered by him is given by

$Speed\times Time\\\\=30\times \frac{3}{2}\\\\=15\times 3\\\\=45\ miles$

Hence, he will travel 45 miles in an hour and a half.
