Question

Using the following formula, where D is distance, R is rate of speed, and T is time, solve the problem “At 2:30 p.m. Shelly leaves her house and drives at an average speed of 55 mph to her sister’s house. If she arrives at 6:30 p.m. how far away is her sister’s house?”

Answer 1

Answer:

220 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

t = 6:30 - 2:30 = 4 hours

r = 55miles/hr

d = rt

d = 55miles/hr * 4hr

d = 220 miles

Answer 2

Answer:

220 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

D = R x T

D = 55 x 4 = 220 miles
