Question
Caden was already 92 kilometers south of Chicago when he started to drive further south at a speed of 65 kilometers per hour.Let h represent the number of hours since Caden started to drive further south and k represent the number of kilometers he is south of Chicago.Find the value of k when h=7.
Solution
To find the value of k when h=7, we need to consider both the distance Caden has already traveled and the distance he will travel in 7 hours.
-
We know that Caden was already 92 kilometers south of Chicago when he started to drive further. So, we start with k = 92.
-
Caden drives at a speed of 65 kilometers per hour. So, in 7 hours, he will drive 65 * 7 = 455 kilometers.
-
To find the total distance Caden is from Chicago after 7 hours, we add the distance he was already from Chicago to the distance he travels in 7 hours. So, k = 92 + 455 = 547 kilometers.
Therefore, when h=7, k=547.
