Answer:
Option A is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
Speed of truck = 55 miles/hour
Time taken = 3.25 hours
Distance = Speed × Time
[tex]=55[/tex] × 3.25
[tex]=178.75[/tex]
But truck driver has to make a delivery at a location that is 230.2 miles away.
Distance left to be covered by a truck driver = [tex]230.2-178.75=51.45[/tex] miles
So,
Yes, if the truck driver continues at the same speed, she will make it to the location in the next hour such that she only has 51.45 miles to go.
Option A is correct
We want to see if the truck driver has enough speed to reach the destination or not. The correct option is A "Yes, she only has 51.45 miles to go."
So we know that she needs to travel a total distance of 230.2 miles.
Now, remember the relation:
Speed*time = distance.
And she travels at an average speed of 55 miles per hour for 3.25 hours, so she traveled a distance of:
(55 mi/h)*3.25 h = 178.75 mi
Then the remaining distance is just:
230.2 mi - 178.75 mi = 51.45 mi
Will she make it in the next hour?
Well, yes, she travels at 55 miles per hour and she has 51.45 miles remaining, so yes, she will make it.
The correct option is A: "Yes, she only has 51.45 miles to go."
