Question

Mr. Banson left his home at 8:00 am and traveled at the average rate of 40
miles per hour until 11:30 a.m. What distance in miles, did he cover during the
period?

Answer 1

Answer:

8400

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed =Distance/Time

speed =40

distance=?

time=3.5 hrs=210 mins

40=d/210

d=210×40

d=8400

Answer 2

Answer:

From D=12 miles, you can get the time T in which he should get to the work (T=D/40-3/60) and then the required rate (R=D/T=12/(1/4)=48 miles).
