Question 5 • DAEP - Math 7 A (20 DAY TERM)

The highway has a maximum speed limit of 55 mph. Which vehicles are safelyobeying this speed limit? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
A limousine travels 318 miles in 6 hours.
B
A sports car travels 216 miles in 4 hours.
C
An ambulance travels 150 miles in 2 hours.
D
A school bus travels 162 miles in 3 hours.
E
A train travels 182 miles in 2 hours.

Explanation

Find each vehicle’s average speed by dividing distance by time. The limousine travels 318 ÷ 6 = 53 mph, the sports car 216 ÷ 4 = 54 mph, and the school bus 162 ÷ 3 = 54 mph; all are at or below 55 mph. The ambulance travels 75 mph and the train 91 mph, so they exceed the limit.
