Final answer:
To find the distance the car will travel in one hour, divide the total distance by the total time taken. The car will travel 880/33 miles in one hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the distance that the car will travel in one hour, we need to determine the average speed of the car. In the given example, the car covers 73 1/3 miles in 2 3/4 hours. To find the average speed, we divide the total distance by the total time taken:
Average speed = Total distance / Total time = 73 1/3 miles / 2 3/4 hours
To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction:
Average speed = (73 1/3 miles) / (11/4 hours) = (220/3) miles / (11/4) hours
To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction:
Average speed = (220/3) * (4/11) = 880/33 miles per hour
Therefore, the car will travel 880/33 miles in one hour.
