Joey travels for 4 hours and 24 minutes at 30 miles per hour. How far has he traveled?

Answer: He travelled 132 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to express 4 hours and 24 minutes in hours:

If 60 minutes = 1 hour

We have to divide 24 minutes by 60 to obtain the equivalent of 24 minutes in hours.

24/60 = 0.4 hours

4 hours + 0.4 hours = 4.4 hours

So:

Time: 4.4 hours Velocity: 30 miles per hour

If we apply the formula:

Distance = velocity x time

Replacing with the values given

d = 30 x 4.4 = 132 miles

30 miles/hr = 30 miles / 60 min = 1 mile / 2 min

24:2 = 12

12x1 = 12

4x30 = 120

120+12 = 132

Ans: He traveled 132 miles.
