First, find the distance traveled by the car in miles. If a particle travels at speed v during a time t, the distance d traveled during that time is:
[tex]d=vt[/tex]Replace v=58.5mi/h and t=1.97h to find the distance traveled in miles:
[tex]d=(58.5\frac{mi}{h})(1.97h)=115.245mi[/tex]One mile is approximately 1609 meters. Convert 115.245 miles to meters:
[tex]115.245mi=115.245mi\times\frac{1609m}{1mi}=185,429m[/tex]Therefore, the distance traveled in meters is approximately 185,000.
