A car travels at an average speed of
56
miles per hour. How many miles does it travel in
3
hours and
15
minutes?

Answer 1

about 176.4 is what i had gotten but i would still check out the other persons answer and compare

Answer 2

So what you need to do is multiply and add
56 miles PER HOUR 
56 x 3 = 168 miles 
so 15 minutes is 1/4 of an hour 
56 x 0.25 = 14 miles (14 x 4 = 56)
14 + 168 = 182 miles (answer)
