Question

the tape diagram shows the number of miles kyle traveled in 3 hours.
at this rate, how many miles can kyle travel in 6 hours?
a. 55 miles
b. 110 miles
c. 220 miles
d. 330 miles

Explanation:

Step1: Find the speed

From the tape diagram, in 3 hours, Kyle travels 165 miles. So the speed \( v=\frac{165}{3}=55 \) miles per hour.

Step2: Calculate distance in 6 hours

Using the formula \( \text{Distance}=\text{Speed}\times\text{Time} \), with speed \( v = 55 \) mph and time \( t=6 \) hours, we get \( \text{Distance}=55\times6 = 330 \) miles.

Answer:

D. 330 miles
