Question

A car travels at an average speed of 52 miles per hour. How many miles does it travel in 4 hours and 45 minutes?

Answer 1

4 hours and 45 minutes = \[4 \frac{45}{60} \; \text{hours}\]
\[\implies 4 \frac{3}{4} \; \text{hours}\]
now to find distance we use \[\text{distance} = \text{speed} \times \text{time}\]
\[\implies 52 \times 4 \frac 34\]

Answer 2

i guess you can turn \[ 4 \frac 34 \;\;\;\; \text{into improper first}\]
\[4 \frac 34 = \frac{19}{4}\]
\[52 \times \frac{19}{4}\]
solve this now and you'll get distance
