The distance an object travels is determined by how fast it goes and for how long it moves. If an object’s speed remains constant, the formula is d=r^t, where d is the distance, r is the speed, and t is the time.

If you drive at 50 miles per hour for 5 hours, how far will you have traveled?

a.
200 miles
b.
10 miles
c.
250 miles
d.
300 miles

Respuesta :

Well since you are already given the formula, this will be very easy.
d = r * t
r = 50 mph
t = 5 hours
d = 250 miles
In five hours at a constant speed of 50 miles per hour, you would have traveled 250 miles.

Answer:

c.  250 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a formula of [tex]d=r*t[/tex], where d is the distance, r is the speed, and t is the time.

To find the distance traveled in 5 hours at a rate of 50 miles per hour, we will substitute our given values in distance formula as:

[tex]d=\frac{50\text{ Miles}}{\text{Hour}}\times\text{5 hours}[/tex]

[tex]d=50\text{ Miles}\times5[/tex]

[tex]d=250\text{ Miles}[/tex]

Therefore, we have traveled a distance of 250 miles.
