Question:
Trey rides his motorcycle to work every day. On Monday he rides at 40 mph for 1 hour. On Tuesday he rides at 20 mph for 2 hours. On Wednesday he rides at 60 mph for 1/2 hour.
Finally on Thursday he went 10 mph for 4 hour. How far did he go each day?
On Monday, Trey travels 40 miles (40 mph x 1 hour).
On Tuesday, Trey travels 40 miles (20 mph x 2 hours).
On Wednesday, Trey travels 30 miles (60 mph x 0.5 hours).
On Thursday, Trey travels 40 miles (10 mph x 4 hours).
Therefore, Trey traveled:
- 40 miles on Monday
- 40 miles on Tuesday
- 30 miles on Wednesday
- 40 miles on Thursday
In total, Trey traveled 150 miles.
To find the distance Trey traveled each day, we can use the formula:
Distance = Speed x Time
Let's calculate the distance for each day:
Monday:
Speed = 40 mph
Time = 1 hour
Distance = 40 mph x 1 hour
Distance = 40 miles
Tuesday:
Speed = 20 mph
Time = 2 hours
Distance = 20 mph x 2 hours
Distance = 40 miles
Wednesday:
Speed = 60 mph
Time = 1/2 hour
Distance = 60 mph x 1/2 hour
Distance = 30 miles
Thursday:
Speed = 10 mph
Time = 4 hours
Distance = 10 mph x 4 hours
Distance = 40 miles
So, Trey traveled:
- 40 miles on Monday,
- 40 miles on Tuesday,
- 30 miles on Wednesday, and
- 40 miles on Thursday.
