Q. Alicia drove at a constant speed and traveled 183 miles in 3 hours.How many miles would Alicia travel in 11 hours at the same speed?miles
Identify Given Information: Identify the given information and what is being asked.Alicia traveled 183 miles in 3 hours. We need to find out how many miles she would travel in 11 hours at the same speed.
Calculate Speed: Calculate the speed (rate) at which Alicia is traveling.To find the speed, we divide the total distance traveled by the time it took to travel that distance.Speed =TimeDistanceSpeed =3 hours183 miles
Find Speed: Perform the calculation to find the speed.Speed = 183 miles ÷3 hours = 61 miles per hour
Calculate Distance: Use the speed to calculate how far Alicia would travel in 11 hours.If Alicia travels at a speed of 61 miles per hour, then in 11 hours she would travel:Distance = Speed × TimeDistance = 61 miles/hour ×11 hours
Find Total Distance: Perform the calculation to find the total distance Alicia would travel in 11 hours.Distance = 61 miles/hour ×11 hours = 671 miles
