Question

Use this formula to solve this word problem. d=r*t
Carolina wants to travel on a new maglev in Japan when she takes a trip this summer. If
she takes the latest model which travels 352 mph, and it takes her 3.2 hours, how far did she travel?
a.
112.6 miles
c.
110 miles
b.
1126 miles
d.
none of these

Answer 1

To find out how far Carolina traveled, we can use the formula \( d = r \times t \), where:

- \( d \) is the distance,
- \( r \) is the rate (speed), and
- \( t \) is the time.

Given:
- \( r = 352 \) miles per hour,
- \( t = 3.2 \) hours.

Now, we can plug in the values into the formula:

\[
d = 352 \, \text{mph} \times 3.2 \, \text{hours}
\]

Calculating this:

\[
d = 352 \times 3.2 = 1126.4 \, \text{miles}
\]

Since 1126.4 miles is not an option, we can round it to 1126 miles.

Thus, the answer is:

**b. 1126 miles**.
