Question

Jordan drove for 6 hours at 55 miles per hour, while Matt drove for 3 hours at 60 miles per hour. If Isaac drove 82 miles longer than Jordan and Matt drove combined, for how many miles did Isaac drive? (Hint: Rate × Time = Distance)

Answer 1

6 * 55 + 3 * 60 + 82 = 330 + 180 + 82 = ?

Answer 2

Jordan drove = 6 h ∙ 55 mil / h = 6 ∙ 55 = 330 miles

Matt drove = 3 h ∙ 60 mil /h = 3 ∙ 60 = 180 miles

Jordan and Matt drove combined 330 + 180 = 510 miles

Isaac drove 82 miles longer than Jordan and Matt drove combined = 510 + 82 = 592 miles
