amistre64 · Answer

good

and if it goes 52 miles in one hour, then after 3 hours, how far has it traveled?

52+52+52 = ??

anonymous · Answer

156

amistre64 · Answer

and since 30 minutes is half an hour, its safe to assume that it only went half of 52 miles for the remaining part

156 + (half of 52)

anonymous · Answer

26

amistre64 · Answer

yes, 156 + 26 = 182

to use a formula:

distance = "speed" times "time"

distance = 52 * 3.5 = 182
