A car is traveling a 60 mph. How many miles are traveled in a 2 day road trip with no stops?
There are 24 hours per day, hence, 2 days have 48 hours (2 x 24). The equation is Rate times Time equals distance. Rate is 60 mph. Time is 48 hours. 60 x 48 = 2880. So the answer is 2,880 miles were traveled in the 2 day road trip with no stops with the car going 60 mph.
There are 24 hours in a day. So each hour, the car goes 60 miles. Therefore every day, the car goes 1,440 miles per day. Every two days it goes 1,440 x 2, which equals 2,880 miles.
