the distance traveled by a car going 65 miles per hour for 3.5 hours is how many miles

Question

very hard to solve has to do with 9th grade

 

Answer 1

Not hard at all if you have the formula:

 

distance = rate × time

• rate = 65 mph
• time = 3.5 hours

 

Plug in the numbers and compute the answer

 

Think about it.  65 mph means you go 65 miles in one hour, so in 2 hours you go 65×2 miles, in 3 hours you go 65×3 miles, and in 3.5 hours you go 65 × 3.5 miles.
