To solve the problem we must know about Speed, distance, and Time.
What are Speed, distance, and Time?
We know that sped, distance, and time all are in a relationship to each other. this relationship can be given as,
[tex]\rm{Speed = \dfrac{Distance}{Time}[/tex]
Given to us
Speed = 60 miles an hour
Don noticed that 3 hours into the trip they were 650 miles from the destination.
Distance traveled by them in 3 hours
We know that Don and Ana are traveling at a constant speed and they are traveling for 3 hours.
[tex]\rm Distance= \rm speed \times Time[/tex]
[tex]\rm Distance = 60 \times 3 = 180\rm\ miles[/tex]
Thus, Distance traveled by them in 3 hours is 180 miles.
Total Distance from their destination
We know that Don and Ana are traveling on the freeway for the past 3 hours and they are still 650 miles away, therefore,
Total Distance from their destination
= Distance traveled by them in 3 hours + 650 miles
= 180 miles + 650 miles
= 830 miles
Thus, the distance traveled by then is 830 miles.
A.) Distance between them and destination after 3.7 hours since entering the freeway,
Distance traveled by them = speed x 3.7
= 60 x 3.7 = 222 miles
Distance between them and the destination
= Total Distance from their destination - Distance traveled by them
= 830 miles - 222 miles
= 608 miles
Thus, they are 608 miles far from their destination.
B.) Distance between them and destination after 2.3 hours since entering the freeway,
Distance traveled by them = speed x 2.3
= 60 x 2.3 = 138 miles
Distance between them and the destination
= Total Distance from their destination - Distance traveled by them
= 830 miles - 138 miles
= 692 miles
Thus, they are 692 miles far from their destination.
