Your family decides to take a long road trip for the summer. You will be riding in the
car while it moves at a fairly constant rate for eight hours to reach your destination.
Use the table, graph, or equation to predict how far the car would travel if it drove
for 10 hours instead of 8.
To predict how far the car would travel if it drove for 10 hours instead of 8, we need to know the constant rate at which the car is moving. Let's assume the car is traveling at a speed of 60 miles per hour.
If the car is driving at a constant speed of 60 miles per hour for 8 hours, the distance traveled would be:
Distance = Speed x Time
Distance = 60 miles/hour x 8 hours
Distance = 480 miles
Now, if the car were to drive for 10 hours at the same speed of 60 miles per hour, we can use the same formula to calculate the distance traveled:
Distance = Speed x Time
Distance = 60 miles/hour x 10 hours
Distance = 600 miles
Therefore, if the car drove for 10 hours instead of 8 at a constant speed of 60 miles per hour, it would travel 600 miles.
