Question

The distance traveled by the blue car was monitored by a table. Number of Hours 5,6,7. Miles Traveled 270,324,378.The speed of the red car is____ miles per hour.The speed of the blue car is_____miles per hour.

Answer 1

To find the speed of the blue car, we can use the formula:

\[
\text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}
\]

From the data given for the blue car:

- At 5 hours, the distance traveled is 270 miles.
- At 6 hours, the distance traveled is 324 miles.
- At 7 hours, the distance traveled is 378 miles.

Let's calculate the speed at each time:

1. For 5 hours:
\[
\text{Speed} = \frac{270 \text{ miles}}{5 \text{ hours}} = 54 \text{ miles per hour}
\]

2. For 6 hours:
\[
\text{Speed} = \frac{324 \text{ miles}}{6 \text{ hours}} = 54 \text{ miles per hour}
\]

3. For 7 hours:
\[
\text{Speed} = \frac{378 \text{ miles}}{7 \text{ hours}} = 54 \text{ miles per hour}
\]

So, the speed of the blue car is **54 miles per hour**.

Next, if we want to find the speed of the red car, we need additional information regarding how far the red car traveled in relation to the time it took. Please provide that information to calculate the speed of the red car.
