Answer 1

Mr. Anderson drove 168 miles in 3 1/2 hours. He then drove the next 2 1/4 hours at a rate of 5 mph faster than the first rate. How many miles did Mr.Anderson drive during the 5 3/4 hours?

 

168 miles  = 48 mph

 3.5 hours

 

5 mph faster

 

48+5= 53 mph

 

53 mph x 2.25 hrs = 119.25 miles

 

Total = 168 +119.25 = 287.25 miles
