You decide to travel by car for your holiday visits this year. you leave early in the morning to avoid congestion on the roads. this enables you to drive at a comfortable speed of =66.8 mph for =1.70 hours. however, after this time, you unexpectedly come to a stop for =35.3 min. traffic starts moving again and you finish your travel at =57.2 mph for an additional =1.10 hours. there are 1609 meters in one mile. what was the total distance traveled?

The total distance traveled was 176.9 mi or 2.846 x 10⁵ m

Explanation:

The distance traveled can be calculated as follows:

distance = speed * time.

At first, you drive at 66.8 mi/h for 1.70 h. Then, the distance traveled is:

distance 1 = 66.8 mi/h * 1.70 h = 114 mi

Then, you come to a stop for 35.3 min, then the distance traveled is 0 during this time.

At last, you drive at 57.2 mi/h for 1.10 hours. Then, the distance traveled is:

distance 2 = 57.2 mi/h * 1.10 h = 62.9 mi.

The total distance traveled was:

distance 1 + distance 2 = 114 mi + 62.9 mi = 176.9 mi or

176.9  mi * 1609 m /mi = 2.846 x 10⁵ m
