Question

estimate the distance you can travel in 2 hours 30 minutes if you drive on average 42 miles per hour. round your answer to the nearest mile. the estimated distance is square miles.

Explanation:

Step1: Convert time to hours

50 minutes = $\frac{50}{60} \approx 0.8333$ hours, so total time $t = 2 + 0.8333 = 2.8333$ hours

Step2: Calculate distance

Distance = speed × time, so $d = 42 \times 2.8333$

Step3: Round to nearest mile

$42 \times 2.8333 \approx 119$

Answer:

119
