Terrell drove at a speed of 48 1/2 miles per hour for 2 14 hours. How far did he travel?
To find the distance traveled by Terrell, we can use the formula:
Distance = Speed x Time
Given that Terrell drove at a speed of 48 1/2 miles per hour for 2 14 hours, we need to convert the mixed number time into a decimal number.
2 14 hours can be written as 2 + 14/60 = 2 7/30 = (2*30 + 7)/30 = 67/30 hours.
Now, we can calculate the distance as follows:
Distance = 48 1/2 miles per hour x 67/30 hours
= (97/2) x (67/30)
= (97 * 67) / (2 * 30)
= 6499 / 60
≈ 108.32 miles
Therefore, Terrell traveled approximately 108.32 miles.
distance = speed * time
so just crank it out
