Jonathan bought a new car. He drove his car from
Catbalogan City to Tacloban City at an average speed
of 65 kilometer per hour, for a total of 4.5 hours. How
far did he travel?
Speed: 65 kph
Distance
Catbalogan City Tacloban City
To find the total distance travelled, we can simply
multiply the given speed and time.
Speed: 65 km/h Time: 4.5 hours
Distance = 65 x 4.5 65
x 4.5
325
+ 260
292.5
Answer: Jonathan travelled 292.5 kilometers.
How far will you travel if you ride on a motorcycle
for 12 minutes at 40 km/h?
Distance = 40 x 12 40
x 12
80
+ 40
480
Answer: A motorcycle travelled 480 kilometers.
