Ben is a truck driver. He drove for 8 hours at an average rate of 55 miles per hour. How many miles did Ben drive?

55 miles * 8 hours = 440 miles

So Ben drove 440 miles.

Ben travelled for 440 miles in a speed of 55 miles per hour in 8 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Time for which Ben drove = 8 hours

Rate at which Ben drove = 55 miles per hour.

To find:

Miles did Ben drive=?

Solution:

We know that,

Distance travelled = speed x time

Then,

Distance travelled by Ben = 55 miles per hour x 8 hours

Distance travelled by Ben = 55 x 8

Distance travelled by Ben = 440 miles
