Average speed of Ashley = 15 miles per hour

Time she has = 6 hours

Distance can be covered = speed × time = 15×6 = 90 miles

But the distance of her friend's house is 96 miles.

So she will not be able to make it.

The relationship between Speed, Distance and Time can be expressed as:

                                       [tex]\rm Distance = Speed \times Time[/tex]

The total distance to be covered is 96 kilometres. Ashley couldn't cover it with existing speed and in available time.

Given:

 [tex]\rm{Average\; speed \;of\; Ashley} =\dfrac{15\;mile}{hour}[/tex]

             [tex]\rm{Time\; available} = 6\;hours[/tex]

Now, calculate the maximum distance that is possible to cover.

          [tex]\begin{aligned}\rm Distance &= \rm{Speed \times Time}\\&=15 \times 6\\&=90\end{aligned}[/tex]        

                       

The total distance to be covered by her is 96 kilometres. Ashley could cover only 90 kilometres.
