In 1620 the Mayflower took 64 days to cross the Atlantic Ocean. It’s speed was 3.6 km/hr. How far did the Mayflower travel to cross the Atlantic Ocean?

Question

a hint is to convert time units

Answer 1

First convert 64 days to hours.

 

Now you have consistent units. How do you find speed when you have the rate and the time? If I go 50 mph for 2 hours, how far have I gone?

 

rate x time = distance

 

Plug in your givens. It's that simple.
