Your family decides to take a long road trip for the summer. You will be riding in the
car while it moves at a fairly constant rate for eight hours to reach your destination.
What do you think is a reasonable speed for the car to travel at for most of the trip?
Remember to include units of measurement in your answer.
Why did you pick this number?
I would say a reasonable speed for the car to travel at for most of the trip would be around 60 miles per hour (mph). This is a common speed for highway driving, and it allows for a good balance between efficient travel time and safety.
By choosing a speed of 60 mph, we should be able to cover a significant distance in the eight hours of driving without risking safety by going too fast. It also gives us some buffer room for potential traffic or road conditions that may slow us down a bit. Overall, I think 60 mph is a reasonable and practical speed for a long road trip.
