The distance an object travels is determined by how fast it goes and for how long it moves. If an object's speed remains constant, the formula is d=r^t, where d is the distance, r is the speed, and t is the time.

If you drive at 50 miles per hour for 5 hours, how far will you have traveled?

a.

200 miles

b.

10 miles

c.

250 miles

d.

300 miles

Well since you are already given the formula, this will be very easy.

d = r * t

r = 50 mph

t = 5 hours

d = 250 miles

In five hours at a constant speed of 50 miles per hour, you would have traveled 250 miles.
