Question

Jason and his family travel 160 miles in 3.2 hours. If they continue at this constant speed, how long will it take them to travel 300 miles? Complete the table

Answer 1

It will take them 6 hours to travel 300 miles. How I got my answer: 160 divided by 3.2 = 50 miles per hour, 300 divided by 50 = 6 hours. Hope I could help! :D

Answer 2

t = 6hrs

Explanation:

Speed = distance/time

Speed at 160miles in 3.2hrs will be = 160/3.2= 50

At the constant speed of 50, time taken to travel 300miles

Is speed = distance / time

50 =300/t

Cross multiply

50t =300

Divide both sides by 50

t = 300/50

t = 6hrs
