Question

13. How many kilometers could the red car travel in 12 hours? Write an equation to show your work. 14. Higher Order Thinking In 12 hours, many more kilometers could the yellow car go than the red car? Show work. how your work

Answer 1

We have the following:

13.

$\begin{gathered} s=\frac{d}{t} \\ d=s\cdot t \end{gathered}$

where s is speed, d is distance and t is time

s = 217 km/h

t = 12 h

replacing:

$\begin{gathered} d=217\cdot12 \\ d=2604 \end{gathered}$

the red car in 12 hours travels 2604 kilometers

14.

We must calculate the distance that the yellow car travels and then we calculate the subtraction and thus we will know how many more kilometers it traveled

$\begin{gathered} d=242\cdot12 \\ d=2904 \end{gathered}$

now,

$2904-2604=300$

therefore the yellow car traveled 300 kilometers more than the red car
