after 3.5 hours, Pasha had traveled 217 miles. if she travels ata constant speed, how far will she have traveled after 4 hours?
Pasha travels 62 miles in an hour (217 divided by 3.5 is 62). So, 62 times 4 hours is 248. So, in 4 hours, she would have traveled 248 miles
Answer:
248 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that after 3.5 hours, Pasha had traveled 217 miles.
First of all, we will find distance traveled by Pasha per hour by dividing 217 by 3.5.
\(\text{Pasha's driving rate}=\frac{\text{217 miles}}{\text{3.5 hours}}\)
\(\text{Pasha's driving rate}=\frac{\text{62 miles}}{\text{hour}}\)
Now, we will multiply 62 by 4 as:
\(\text{Distance covered by Pasha in 4 hours}=\frac{\text{62 miles}}{\text{hour}}\times 4\text{ hours}\)
\(\text{Distance covered by Pasha in 4 hours}=\text{62 miles}\times 4\)
\(\text{Distance covered by Pasha in 4 hours}=\text{248 miles}\)
Therefore, Pasha will travel 248 miles in 4 hours.
