How many miles does a car travel if it averages at the rate of 35 miles per hours for 3 hours and 24 minutes.

How many miles does a car travel if it averages at the rate of 35 miles per hours for 3 hours and 24 minutes.

Explanation

To find the total distance traveled, you need to convert the time from hours and minutes to just hours. There are 60 minutes in an hour, so:

24 minutes = 24/60 = 0.4 hours

Adding this to the 3 hours, you get:

3 hours + 0.4 hours = 3.4 hours

Now, you can multiply the total hours by the average speed (35 miles per hour) to get the total distance:

3.4 hours x 35 miles/hour = 119 miles

So, the correct answer is 119 miles.
