It is 185 miles to Fort Worth. If Vang drives 2 hours at 65 miles per hour, how far will he be from Fort Worth?
Multiply the number of hours times the number of miles per hour.
65
× 2
‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾
130
Then subtract the number of miles driven from the total number of miles.
Write and solve the arithmetic problem for the second step.
185 - 130 = 55
Vang will be 55 miles from Fort Worth after driving 2 hours at 65 miles per hour.
