At 1:00 p.m. a car, traveling at a constant

velocity of 86 km/h toward the west, is 22 km
to the west of our school.
How far from the school will it be at 3:30
p.m.?
Answer in units of k

distance=2.5hr*86km/hr + 22km West

To find out how far the car will be from the school at 3:30 p.m., we need to calculate the distance it travels in 2.5 hours.

The car is traveling at a constant velocity of 86 km/h toward the west. Therefore, in 2.5 hours, it would have traveled a distance of:

Distance = Velocity x Time
Distance = 86 km/h x 2.5 hours

Calculating this, we get:

Distance = 215 km

So, the car will be 215 km away from the school at 3:30 p.m.

To find the distance from the school at 3:30 p.m., we need to calculate the total distance the car traveled during that time.

First, let's determine the time difference between 1:00 p.m. and 3:30 p.m.:
3 hours and 30 minutes - 1 hour = 2 hours and 30 minutes.

Next, we can use the formula: distance = velocity × time.

Given that the car is traveling at a constant velocity of 86 km/h, and the time is 2 hours and 30 minutes (or 2.5 hours), we can calculate the distance traveled:

Distance = 86 km/h × 2.5 h

Calculating this expression, we get:

Distance = 215 km.

Therefore, the car will be 215 km away from the school at 3:30 p.m.
