a driver who drives at a speed of r mph for t hr will travel a distance d mi given by d = rt miles. How far will a driver travel at a speed of 58 mph for 5 hr?
Is it possible to multipy the speed x time?
distance = rate times time
You're looking for the distance (d).
The rate is 58 mph. The time is 5 hours.
d = r * t
d = 58 * 5
d = ? hours
We'll be glad to check your answer.
290
290 miles
To find the distance, we can use the formula given: d = rt, where d represents the distance, r represents the speed in mph, and t represents the time in hours.
Now, let's plug in the values given in the question:
r = 58 mph (speed)
t = 5 hr (time)
Substitute these values into the formula: d = (58 mph) x (5 hr)
To find the product of 58 and 5, multiply them together: d = 290 miles.
Therefore, a driver who drives at a speed of 58 mph for 5 hours will travel a distance of 290 miles.
