if you drive for 3hours at 60mph and then for 2hours at 70mph,how far will you travel?
distance = speed * time
so, figure each distance and add them up.
140 miles
To find the distance traveled, we can calculate the distance traveled during the different time intervals and then add them together. The formula to calculate distance is:
Distance = Speed × Time
Let's calculate the distance traveled during each time interval and then add them:
First, we have 3 hours of driving at 60 mph:
Distance1 = Speed1 × Time1
Distance1 = 60 mph × 3 hours
Distance1 = 180 miles
Next, we have 2 hours of driving at 70 mph:
Distance2 = Speed2 × Time2
Distance2 = 70 mph × 2 hours
Distance2 = 140 miles
Now we can add the distances together:
Total Distance = Distance1 + Distance2
Total Distance = 180 miles + 140 miles
Total Distance = 320 miles
Therefore, you would travel a total distance of 320 miles.
