Bo drove 448 miles in 7 hours. If he continued at the same rate, how long would it take to travel 1152 miles?

1 answer

To determine how much time it would take Bo to travel 1152 miles, we first need to find his driving rate in miles per hour.

Bo drove 448 miles in 7 hours, so his driving rate is calculated as follows:

\[ \text{Rate} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} = \frac{448 \text{ miles}}{7 \text{ hours}} = 64 \text{ miles per hour} \]

Now, we'll use this driving rate to find out how long it would take him to travel 1152 miles. We use the formula for time:

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

Substituting in the known values:

\[ \text{Time} = \frac{1152 \text{ miles}}{64 \text{ miles per hour}} = 18 \text{ hours} \]

Thus, it would take Bo 18 hours to travel 1152 miles at the same rate.
