Question

The speed limit in Mississippi on a state highway is 75 mph. At this speed, how far could a car travel 3.5 in hours? ________ miles

Answer 1

At this speed, a car could travel 262.5 miles in 3.5 miles.

To find out how far a car could travel, all we have to do is multiply the speed in miles per hour by the amount of hours being measured.

75 • 3.5 = 262.5

Therefore, at 75 mph, a car could travel 262.5 miles.
