To find the distance between the two towns, we can use the formula: Distance = Speed x Time.
Given:
Average speed = 30 mph
Time taken = 2 hours 15 minutes
First, convert the time into hours.
2 hours 15 minutes = 2.25 hours (15 minutes divided by 60 gives 0.25 hours)
Now, use the formula to find the distance:
Distance = Speed x Time
Distance = 30 mph x 2.25 hours
Distance = 67.5 miles
Therefore, the distance between the two towns, town A and town B, is 67.5 miles.
