Math Problem Statement

Distance = ?; Time = 14 minutes; Speed = 55 miles/minute

Solution

The image contains the following information:

Task:

  • Distance = ?
  • Time = 14 minutes
  • Speed = 55 miles/minute

To calculate the distance, we use the formula for distance: Distance=Speed×Time\text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time}

Substituting the given values: Distance=55miles/minute×14minutes\text{Distance} = 55 \, \text{miles/minute} \times 14 \, \text{minutes}

Let me calculate that for you.The calculated distance is 770 miles.

Do you have any questions, or would you like further details on this solution?

Here are five related questions to expand on this concept:

  1. What if the speed was 60 miles per minute instead of 55?
  2. How long would it take to cover 1000 miles at 55 miles per minute?
  3. If the time was doubled, what would the new distance be at the same speed?
  4. What is the formula for speed if distance and time are known?
  5. How can you convert speed from miles per minute to miles per hour?

Tip: Always ensure that the units for speed and time are compatible when calculating distance.
