Question

A car is traveling at a steady speed. It travels 2 1/3 miles in 3 1/2 minutes. How far will it travel in 46 minutes ​? In 1 hour ​?

Answer 1

Answer:

The car will travel 30 2/3 miles in 45 minutes.

The car will travel 40 miles in 1 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Distance traveled by car in 46 minutes is $d_{t=46min}=v\times t=\frac{2}{3}\:miles/min \times 46=30.67\:miles$ and

Distance traveled by car in 1 hour is

$d_{t=1\:hour}=v\times t=\frac{2}{3}\:miles/min \times 60min=40\:miles$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Distance covered by car is $d=2\frac{1}{3}\:miles=\frac{7}{3}\:miles$ and

The time taken is $t=3\frac{1}{2}\:min=3.5\:min$

We know that speed is the ratio of distance traveled to the time taken.

Therefore,

$Speed=v=\frac{d}{t}$

By substituting the known values we get

$v=\frac{\frac{7}{3}}{3.5}=\frac{2}{3}\:miles/min$

Therefore,

Distance traveled by car in 46 minutes is $d_{t=46min}=v\times t=\frac{2}{3}\:miles/min \times 46=30.67\:miles$ and

Distance traveled by car in 1 hour is

$d_{t=1\:hour}=v\times t=\frac{2}{3}\:miles/min \times 60min=40\:miles$
