Question

A truck driver has to make a delivery at a location that is 230.2 miles away. She drives an average of 55 miles each hour for 3.25 hours. If the truck driver continues at the same speed, will she make it to the location in the next hour?

Answer 1

Yes

Explanation:

Since the truck driver is going at an average speed of 55 miles per hour and has already driven for 3.25 hours that means she has already covered a distance of ...

55 * 3.25 = 178.75 miles

If she continues at the same speed and travels for one more hour that means that she would cover another 55 miles which would put her at a total distance of ...

178.75 + 55 = 233.75 miles

Therefore, the answer would be Yes she would arrive at her location.
