Jeff traveled at an average speed of 65 miles per hour for 2.5 hours and then traveled at an average speed of 70 miles per hour for 1.5 hours. What was the total distance in miles that Jeff traveled during this time?

267.5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

We start with the formula for speed:

speed = distance/time

Now we solve it for distance:

distance = speed * time

65 mph for 2.5 hours + 70 mph for 1.5 hours

distance = 65 * 2.5 + 70 * 1.5

distance = 162.5 + 105

distance = 267.5

267.5 miles

answer: c, the green line

step-by-step explanation:

there is no black line, eliminate b.

simple interest implies periodic payments, but the red line shows no payments, eliminate d.

simple interest has equal payments. if paid say every day, the graph is about a straight line (actually a stairstep).

the yellow line is not straight, eliminate a.

check: the green line is straight, answer is c.

simple interest with positive interest rate gives a straight line sloping up to the right. green line:

g(t) = $100 + ($200-$100) ÷ (20 years) × (t years)

= $100 + (4%/year) × ($100)(t years)

incidentally, the yellow line curving upward represents continuously compounded interest

y = $100 × 2^(t years / (14 assuming the yellow line hits $200 at 14 years. 2^0 is 1, so y(0) = $100; 2^(14/14) is 2, so y(14) = $200.
