Question
Tori's family is leaving for a camping trip in the morning. Marshall Meadows, where they will camp, is 325 miles away. Tori's parents plan to drive for 3 hours in the morning, then stop for lunch. They will complete the trip in the afternoon. They expect their average speed will be 50 miles per hour. How many hours will they drive in the afternoon?
Solution
First, let's calculate how many miles Tori's family will cover in the morning. They plan to drive for 3 hours at an average speed of 50 miles per hour. So, they will cover 3 hours * 50 miles/hour = 150 miles in the morning.
The total distance to Marshall Meadows is 325 miles. So, after driving 150 miles in the morning, they will have 325 miles - 150 miles = 175 miles left to cover in the afternoon.
They expect their average speed will be 50 miles per hour. So, to find out how many hours they will drive in the afternoon, we divide the remaining distance by their speed: 175 miles ÷ 50 miles/hour = 3.5 hours.
So, Tori's family will drive for 3.5 hours in the afternoon.
