Answer:
[tex] d = 12.5 \frac{mi}{hr} *2.2 hr = 27.5 mi[/tex]
So then after 2.2 hours with an average speed of 12.5 mi/hr the hot air ballon will travel 27.5 mi
Step-by-step explanation:
For this problem we know that the distance traveled by an object is given by:
[tex] d = rt[/tex] (1)
Where d is the distance r the average speed and t the time.
From the info given we know that [tex] t = 2.2 hours[/tex] and [tex] r= 12.5 \frac{mi}{hr}[/tex]
And replacing into formula (1) we got:
[tex] d = 12.5 \frac{mi}{hr} *2.2 hr = 27.5 mi[/tex]
So then after 2.2 hours with an average speed of 12.5 mi/hr the hot air ballon will travel 27.5 mi
