Question 16 • Common Core Math 7 A-IC

If the speed limit of a highway is 60 mph, which car exceeded the speed limit? Assume all the cars were traveling at a constant speed.

Answer
A
a car that traveled 183 miles in 3 hours
B
a car that traveled 236 miles in 4 hours
C
a car that traveled 290 miles in 5 hours
D
a car that traveled 342 miles in 6 hours

Explanation

Find each car’s constant speed by dividing distance by time. Car A traveled 183 ÷ 3 = 61 mph, which is above the 60 mph limit. The other cars traveled 236 ÷ 4 = 59 mph, 290 ÷ 5 = 58 mph, and 342 ÷ 6 = 57 mph, so only car A exceeded the limit.
