Question

You are driving you car for 3hr at an average speed of 130 km per hr how far did you go

  Help 

Answer 1

Use the distance formula

 

d = vt

 

where:

d = distance (km)

v = speed (km / hr)

t = time (hr)

 

Given:

v = 130 km/hr

t = 3 hr

 

What to find:

d

 

Plug in the given values to find d.

Answer 2

Hi Tiffany,

 

Let's try to interpret this word problem into equations with numbers.

 

First, the average speed of your card is 130 km per hour. 

This can also be written as 130 km/ hr.

 

The question gives us how long the car has been traveling for, which is 3 hours.

 

Since your car is traveling 130 km per hour, this means for three hours (130 + 130 + 130= 390 hours), which is basic multiplication. 

 

(130 km/ hr) x 3 hr = total distance traveled by your car

(130 km/ hr) x 3 hr = 390 km

 

Hope this helps.
