Make Sense of problem.

The ski team has a race in 3 hours and it is 120 miles away.The team drives 50 miles each hour.Will they arrive at the race on time?

Verified Answer :

Yes, because if they drive 50 miles each hour, then they will have driven 50 \(\times\) 3 miles in 3 hours. This is 150 miles and since the competition is 120 miles away then they can easily make it. Providing they don't break down or stop for petrol etc...

Well if you are driving 50mph for 3 hours, that would give you 150 miles in 3 hours.

Since they only have 120 miles to go, they would not only arrive on time. They would be early.

Hope that helps you. :-)
