Answer 1

In 1 hour, you go 70 miles on an average.

 

To calculate how far would you go in 2.5 days, first let's find out how many hours are there in 2.5 days

 

1 day = 24 hours

2.5 days = 24*2.5 = 60 hours

 

So, distance covered in 2.5 days = 70 * 60 = 4200 miles

Answer 2

2.5 days (24 hours/1 day) = 60 hours

rate x time = distance

d = 70 mph x 60 hours = 4200 miles

 

I hope this is what you were asking about. 

But, you have to convert to hours first and then solve for distance.
