2-6 Lesson 2-6 Example 3 Kareem traveled 260 miles in 4 hours. At that point, he reduced his rate of speed by 20%. How far did he travel in 2 hours? Step 1 Find Kareem’s rate of speed at the beginning of the trip. 260 ÷ 4 = 65 miles per hour
2-6 Lesson 2-6 Example 3 Kareem traveled 260 miles in 4 hours. At that point, he reduced his rate of speed by 20%. How far did he travel in 2 hours? Step 2 Reduce that amount by 20%. 20% of 65 = 13 His new rate of speed is 65 – 13 = 52 miles per hour.
2-6 Lesson 2-6 Example 3 Kareem traveled 260 miles in 4 hours. At that point, he reduced his rate of speed by 20%. How far did he travel in 2 hours? Step 3 Use the distance formula, d = r • t, to find his new distance. d = 52•2 Kareem could travel 104 miles in 2 hours.
