Question

A car travels 60 miles in 2 hours. How far will it travel in 5 hours at the same speed?
150 miles
100 miles
120 miles
130 miles

Answer 1

To find out how far the car will travel in 5 hours at the same speed, we first need to determine its speed.

The speed of the car can be calculated using the formula:

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

In this case:

\[
\text{Speed} = \frac{60 \text{ miles}}{2 \text{ hours}} = 30 \text{ miles per hour}
\]

Now, to find out how far the car will travel in 5 hours, we can use the same formula for distance:

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

So, we calculate the distance for 5 hours:

\[
\text{Distance} = 30 \text{ miles per hour} \times 5 \text{ hours} = 150 \text{ miles}
\]

Therefore, the car will travel **150 miles** in 5 hours at the same speed.
