Answer 1

To determine which vehicles are safely obeying the 55 mph speed limit, we need to calculate the speed of each vehicle by dividing the distance traveled by the time taken.

1. Limousine:

   • Distance: 318 miles
   • Time: 6 hours
   • Speed = 318 miles / 6 hours = 53 mph (below the speed limit)

2. Train:

   • Distance: 182 miles
   • Time: 2 hours
   • Speed = 182 miles / 2 hours = 91 mph (above the speed limit)

3. Sports Car:

   • Distance: 216 miles
   • Time: 4 hours
   • Speed = 216 miles / 4 hours = 54 mph (below the speed limit)

4. Ambulance:

   • Distance: 150 miles
   • Time: 2 hours
   • Speed = 150 miles / 2 hours = 75 mph (above the speed limit)

5. School Bus:

   • Distance: 162 miles
   • Time: 3 hours
   • Speed = 162 miles / 3 hours = 54 mph (below the speed limit)

Based on these calculations, the vehicles that are safely obeying the speed limit of 55 mph are:

1. Limousine (53 mph)
2. Sports Car (54 mph)
3. School Bus (54 mph)

So the correct responses are:

• A limousine travels 318 miles in 6 hours.
• A sports car travels 216 miles in 4 hours.
• A school bus travels 162 miles in 3 hours.
