Question

A family is planning a vacation, traveling 300 miles from their house. If they plan to stop at parks to allow the children to play every two hours, how many parks will they visit before they reach their destination assuming they travel 60 mph?

Answer 1

Answer:

nearly 3(2.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

assuming,

they stop at every 2hrs

so d=s/t

distance is 300miles

speed=60mph

t=??

t=5hrs

so,t=5hrs so 5/2=2.5

Answer 2

The number of parks visited before they reach their destination is 2.

Given: Total distance = 300 miles. Speed = 60 mph.

They plan to stop at parks to allow the children to play every two hours.

To Find: The number of parks visited before they reach their destination.

Solution:

Total distance to be traveled = 300 miles

Speed of car = 60 mph

So, the time required to reach the destination = 300/ 60 hrs

                                                                             = 5 hrs

Now, it is said that they plan to stop at parks to allow the children to play every two hours.

So, since the total time of the journey is 5 hours, they need to stop first after 2 hours and next again after 2 hours ( 4 hours since the start of the journey ).

So, the number of stops is = 2

Hence, the number of parks visited before they reach their destination is 2.
