Question

Marcus traveled west for 2 hours at 50 mph. He then traveled east for another hour at 25 mph. How many total miles did Marcus travel?

Answer 1

Answer:

If they really want the total number of miles traveled then: 2 X 50 miles = 100 + (1 X 25 miles) = 100 + 25 = 125 miles.

Answer 2

Speed1= 50mph Speed2 = 25 mph

Time 1 = 2 hours Time 2 = 1 hour

=> Distance = Speed × Time

Distance 1 =100 miles Distance 2 = 25 miles

Total distance = 100+25

= 125 miles

hope it helps..
