If Britney drove for 3.8 hours at a constant speed of 56 mph and Willis drove for 4.1 hours at a constant speed of 52 mph who drove father? How much farther?
Britney: 3.8 hours x 56 mph = 212.8 miles
Willis: 4.1 hours x 52 mph = 213.2 miles
Willis drove farther, 0.4 miles farther.
To determine who drove farther, we need to calculate the distances each person traveled.
First, we'll find the distance Britney traveled by multiplying her speed by the time she drove:
Distance = Speed * Time
Distance Britney = 56 mph * 3.8 hours
Distance Britney = 212.8 miles
Next, we'll find the distance Willis traveled:
Distance Willis = 52 mph * 4.1 hours
Distance Willis = 213.2 miles
Therefore, Willis drove farther than Britney by 213.2 - 212.8 = 0.4 miles.
To determine who drove farther, we need to calculate the distance each person traveled. The formula to calculate distance is:
Distance = Speed × Time
Let's start by calculating the distance traveled by Britney:
Distance Britney = Speed Britney × Time Britney
Distance Britney = 56 mph × 3.8 hours
Distance Britney = 212.8 miles
Now, let's calculate the distance Willis traveled:
Distance Willis = Speed Willis × Time Willis
Distance Willis = 52 mph × 4.1 hours
Distance Willis = 213.2 miles
Comparing the distances, we can see that Willis drove farther by 0.4 miles (213.2 miles - 212.8 miles).
