Question

Need help, please answer!

Answer 1

Carlos and Maria drove a total of 258 miles in 5 hours. Carlos drove the first part of the trip and averaged 53 miles per hour. Maria drove the remainder of the trip and averaged 51 miles per hour. For approximately how many hours did Maria drive? Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary.

Answer 2

ok so how exactly are we supposed to answer this if it doesn't even tell us how far Carlos drove?

Answer 3

I have no idea, that's why I'm confused.

Answer 4

Carlos drove the first part of the trip and averaged 53 miles per hour

Answer 5

yeah but he drove 53 mph thats not telling us how long or how far which means this is a Rhetorical question

Answer 6

Yeah idk.. >.> missing information ohhh

53 and 51 find a way both add up to 258 withing the 5 hour limit and approximate how many maria drove.

Answer 7

I guess beats me

Answer 8

Well, thanks for trying :P

Answer 9

we can solve it with that info though right? @tHe_FiZiCx99

Answer 10

Lets try @shelbygt520 :3 duoo lulz

Um 53*3 = 159
51*2 = 102 + 159 = 261mph

Close

Answer 11

yeah close umm try 53*2 and 51*3

Answer 12

Damn thats 1 mile over

Answer 13

Were going to have to round, says round to the nearest tenth so I think we're going to need to use a decimal?

53*2 = 106
51*3 = 153 + 106 = 259

Answer 14

One off,

51*3.5 = 178.5
53*1.5 = 79.5

79.5 + 178.5 = 258mph

Rounded..?

Answer 15

Idk what that would be rounded

Answer 16

ehh yeah thats right but now I'm all confuthled and yeah.... -_-

Answer 17

?How? o.o

Answer 18

It's simple lol ._.

Answer 19

wait if 153 plus 106 equals 259 then we can round it out to Maria driving 3hours

Answer 20

because if we were to put it down to the exact time we'd get into the milliseconds

Answer 21

Yes, but to the tenth place?

Answer 22

yeah @MustHaveAnswers do you have an option to the tenths place?

Answer 23

3.50 is the same as 3.5 so it is in the tenth place
