mr.Thomas drove for two days.The first day he drove for 6 hours at an average speed of 55miles per hour. The next day he drove for 7 hours at an average speed of 63 miles per hour. How many miles did Mr.thomas drive during the two days?
I'll be glad to check your work.
771 miles?
Right! :-)
To find the total distance Mr. Thomas drove during the two days, we need to calculate the distance traveled on each day separately and then add them up.
First, let's calculate the distance traveled on the first day. We can use the formula:
Distance = Speed × Time
On the first day, Mr. Thomas drove for 6 hours at an average speed of 55 miles per hour.
Distance on the first day = 55 miles/hour × 6 hours
Next, let's calculate the distance traveled on the second day. Again, we can use the same formula:
Distance = Speed × Time
On the second day, Mr. Thomas drove for 7 hours at an average speed of 63 miles per hour.
Distance on the second day = 63 miles/hour × 7 hours
Now, we can find the total distance by adding the distances from both days:
Total distance = Distance on the first day + Distance on the second day
I will calculate the distances for each day and then add them up.
Distance on the first day = 55 miles/hour × 6 hours
Distance on the first day = 330 miles
Distance on the second day = 63 miles/hour × 7 hours
Distance on the second day = 441 miles
Total distance = 330 miles + 441 miles
Total distance = 771 miles
Therefore, Mr. Thomas drove a total of 771 miles during the two days.
