Question

Find the distance traveled by cargo ships traveling at 30 miles per hour for 3 days.
A. 90 miles
B. 216 miles
C. 2160 miles
D. 720 miles

Answer 1

To find the distance traveled, we can multiply the speed of the cargo ships (30 miles per hour) by the number of hours in three days (3 days * 24 hours/day).

30 miles/hour * (3 days * 24 hours/day) = 30 miles/hour * 72 hours = 2160 miles

Therefore, the distance traveled by the cargo ships is 2160 miles.

The correct answer is C. 2160 miles.
