Mishka is on a long road trip, and she averages 60 mph for 3 hours while she's driving on the highway. While she's driving on side roads for 1 hour, she only averages 40 mph. What is the total distance that she covers on her road trip
To find the total distance covered on the highway, we multiply the average speed (60 mph) by the time spent driving on the highway (3 hours): 60 mph * 3 hours = <<60*3=180>>180 miles.
To find the total distance covered on side roads, we multiply the average speed (40 mph) by the time spent driving on side roads (1 hour): 40 mph * 1 hour = <<40*1=40>>40 miles.
The total distance covered on the road trip is the sum of the distances covered on the highway and side roads: 180 miles + 40 miles = <<180+40=220>>220 miles. Answer: \boxed{220}.
To find the total distance covered on the road trip, we need to calculate the distance covered while driving on the highway and the distance covered while driving on side roads separately.
Distance covered on the highway:
Speed = 60 mph
Time = 3 hours
Distance = Speed × Time
Distance on the highway = 60 mph × 3 hours = 180 miles
Distance covered on side roads:
Speed = 40 mph
Time = 1 hour
Distance = Speed × Time
Distance on side roads = 40 mph × 1 hour = 40 miles
Total distance covered on the road trip = Distance on the highway + Distance on side roads
Total distance = 180 miles + 40 miles = 220 miles
Therefore, Mishka covers a total distance of 220 miles on her road trip.
To find the total distance that Mishka covers on her road trip, we need to calculate the distance covered during each leg of the trip and then add them together.
First, let's calculate the distance covered on the highway. Distance = Speed × Time.
The speed on the highway is 60 mph, and she drives for 3 hours.
Distance on the highway = 60 mph × 3 hours = 180 miles.
Next, let's calculate the distance covered on the side roads. Again, Distance = Speed × Time.
The speed on the side roads is 40 mph, and she drives for 1 hour.
Distance on side roads = 40 mph × 1 hour = 40 miles.
Finally, to find the total distance, we just need to add the distances covered on the highway and side roads.
Total distance = Distance on the highway + Distance on side roads = 180 miles + 40 miles = 220 miles.
So, Mishka covers a total distance of 220 miles on her road trip.
