Question

you drive 3 1/2 hours at 55 miles per hour how far do you drive

Answer 1

To find the total distance driven, we multiply the speed (55 miles per hour) by the time (3 1/2 hours).

To convert 3 1/2 hours into a fraction, we can rewrite it as 7/2.

Distance = Speed × Time
Distance = 55 miles/hour × 7/2 hours

To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators to get the new numerator and multiply the denominators to get the new denominator.

Distance = (55 × 7) miles / (2 × 1) hours
Distance = 385 miles / 2 hours

Therefore, you drive 385 miles in 3 1/2 hours at 55 miles per hour.
