Mrs. Marable and 10 students took a 5 hour trip to visit a Holocaust museum. Their average rate of travel was 55 miles per hour. The museum was how far away from school?

Answer :

Answer:

The museum is 275 miles away from the school

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the distance between the school and the Museum, given that it took 5 hours and at an average speed of 55 miles per hour to get there.

To calculate the distance, we simply employ a mathematical formula

Mathematically,

Total distance = Average speed × Time

where from the question, we can identify that the average speed = 55 miles/hour and the time taken is 5 hours

Plugging these values

Total distance = 55 × 5 = 275 miles

Answer: 275 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the next formula:

Speed rate = distance / time

Isolating distance:

Distance = speed rate x time

Replacing with the values given:

Distance = 55 miles per hour x 5 hours

Solving:

Distance = 275 miles.
