Answer 1

To determine which vehicles are safely obeying the 55 mph speed limit, we need to calculate the speed of each vehicle using the formula:

Speed = Distance / Time.

Then, we can identify which speeds are at or below 55 mph.

1. Ambulance:

   • Distance: 150 miles
   • Time: 2 hours
   • Speed = 150 miles / 2 hours = 75 mph (not obeying the speed limit)

2. Limousine:

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

3. Train:

   • Distance: 182 miles
   • Time: 2 hours
   • Speed = 182 miles / 2 hours = 91 mph (not obeying the speed limit)

4. School Bus:

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

5. Sports Car:

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

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

• A limousine travels 318 miles in 6 hours. (53 mph)
• A school bus travels 162 miles in 3 hours. (54 mph)
• A sports car travels 216 miles in 4 hours. (54 mph)

The three vehicles that apply are:

1. Limousine
2. School bus
3. Sports car
