Perry traveled at an average speed of 55 miles per hour for 3.5 hours and then traveled at an average speed of 60 miles per hour for 2.5 hours. What was the total distance in miles that Perry traveled during this time?
347.5 mi
330 mi
360 mi
342.5 mi
The total distance traveled can be calculated by adding the distance traveled during each segment of the trip.
Distance traveled during first segment: 55 mph * 3.5 hours = 192.5 miles
Distance traveled during second segment: 60 mph * 2.5 hours = 150 miles
Total distance traveled = 192.5 miles + 150 miles = 342.5 miles
Therefore, the total distance in miles that Perry traveled during this time is 342.5 miles.
