Question

Use the formula d=rt to find the distance traveled by a car driving at an average speed of 50 miles per hour for 4.5 hours

Answer 1

Given that the formula of calculating the distance is given by:
d=rt
where:
r=rate
t=time
the distance traveled by car given r=50 mph and t=4.5 hours will be:
d=4.5*50
=225 miles

Answer 2

Average Speed (r) = 50 miles per hour Time taken (t) = 4.5 hours Using the formula d=rt, d = 50 miles per hour x 4.5 hours = 225.0 miles The distance covered in 4.5 hours at the speed of 50 miles per hours is 225 miles.
