Question

Thuy drives 270 miles in 6 hours. How many miles does Thuy drive in 13 hours?
455 miles
585 miles
624 miles
715 miles

Answer 1

To find out how many miles Thuy drives in 13 hours, we first need to calculate her average speed.

Thuy drives 270 miles in 6 hours, so her average speed is:

\[
\text{Average Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} = \frac{270 \text{ miles}}{6 \text{ hours}} = 45 \text{ miles per hour}
\]

Now, we can use this average speed to find out how far she would drive in 13 hours:

\[
\text{Distance in 13 hours} = \text{Average Speed} \times \text{Time} = 45 \text{ miles per hour} \times 13 \text{ hours} = 585 \text{ miles}
\]

So, Thuy drives **585 miles** in 13 hours.
