To calculate the distance Samuel traveled, you can use the formula:
\[
\text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time}
\]
Samuel's speed is \(10 \frac{1}{2}\) miles per hour, which can be written as:
\[
10 \frac{1}{2} = 10.5 \text{ miles per hour}
\]
His time is \(3 \frac{1}{2}\) hours, which can be written as:
\[
3 \frac{1}{2} = 3.5 \text{ hours}
\]
Now, plug the values into the distance formula:
\[
\text{Distance} = 10.5 \times 3.5
\]
Calculating the multiplication:
\[
10.5 \times 3.5 = 36.75
\]
So, Samuel traveled **36.75 miles**.
