Question

Kara travels at a constant speed of 72 miles per 2 hours. At this rate, how far does she travel after 6.5 hours?

Answer 1

234 hours

Explanation:

To find the miles per hour, divide 72 by 2 and that equals 36. So 36 miles every hour. So then do 36 × 6 which equals 216. So this is 216 miles in 6 hours, but you still need 0.5 of an hour, so to find how far she travels in 0.5 of an hour, divide the amount she travels in one hour by two. So 36 ÷ 2 which equals 18. So she travels 18 miles every 0.5 of an hour. Then add 18 to the 216 which equals 234.
