The Ridilla family plan to drive to their vacation destination in 2 days. On day 1 the family traveled 324 miles in 4.5 hours. On day 2, how many hours will it take the family to complete the 576 mile trip, assuming the travel at the same rate as day 1?
first find the rate they are going from the first problem 324/4.5=72 so 72 miles per hour next subtract 576-324=252 now divided 252/72= it will take them 3.5 hours to reach there destination.
answer is 3.5 hours if you are including both days then the answer will be 3.5+4.5=8 hours
