To find the total distance that Kyle traveled, we can split the journey into two parts and calculate the distance for each part separately, then add them together.
-
For the first part of the trip:
- Speed = 45 miles per hour
- Time = 1.5 hours
- Distance = Speed × Time = 45 miles/hour × 1.5 hours = 67.5 miles
-
For the second part of the trip:
- Speed = 50 miles per hour
- Time = 2.5 hours
- Distance = Speed × Time = 50 miles/hour × 2.5 hours = 125 miles
Now, we add the distances from both parts of the trip:
Total Distance = Distance of First Part + Distance of Second Part
Total Distance = 67.5 miles + 125 miles = 192.5 miles
Therefore, the total distance that Kyle traveled is 192.5 miles.
