A car moving in a straight line at an average speed of 55.0 mi/hr for 4.25 hr has traveled _____.
234 mi
15 mi
13 mi
220 mi
distance = rate x time.
d = 55.0 mi/hr x 4.25 hr = ?
To find the distance traveled by the car, we can use the formula:
Distance = Average Speed x Time
Plugging in the given values, we get:
Distance = 55.0 mi/hr x 4.25 hr
To get the answer, simply multiply the average speed (55.0 mi/hr) by the time (4.25 hr):
Distance = 55.0 mi/hr x 4.25 hr = 233.75 mi
So, the car has traveled approximately 233.75 miles.
Since there are no options that exactly match this answer, the closest option is 234 mi.
