I love MPH problems.
56 miles per hour - so we need to figure the distance in one hour and another half hour.
56 + 56/2 will give us our total miles.
reduce the fraction - 56/2 = 28
add this to 56 ... 56 + 28
You get 84 miles is 1.5 hours.
Answer: 84 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : A person driving along the road moves at a rate of 56 miles per hour driven.
i.e Speed = 56 miles per hour
To find : Distance traveled by the person who drive in 1.5 hours.
Time = 1.5 hours
The formula we use here is :-
[tex]\text{Distance=Speed}\times\text{Time }\\\\\Rightarrow\text{Distance}=56\times1.5=84\text{ miles}[/tex]
Hence, the person drives 84 miles in 1.5 hours.
