so, how many miles does it go in 1 hour?

Answer 7

52?

Answer 8

good

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

52+52+52 = ??

Answer 9

156

Answer 10

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)

Answer 11

26

Answer 12

yes, 156 + 26 = 182

to use a formula:

distance = "speed" times "time"

distance = 52 * 3.5 = 182
