A car travels 98 kilometers in 1.4 hours. How far will it travel in 2 hours?

To determine how far the car will travel in 2 hours, we first need to calculate its speed. The car travels 98 kilometers in 1.4 hours, so we can find the speed in kilometers per hour by dividing the distance by the time.

Speed = Distance / Time = 98 kilometers / 1.4 hours.

When you perform this division, the calculation gives:

98 ÷ 1.4 = 70 kilometers per hour.

Now that we know the speed, we can calculate how far the car would travel in 2 hours by using the speed we just found.

Distance = Speed × Time = 70 kilometers per hour × 2 hours.

Multiplying these together results in:

70 × 2 = 140 kilometers.

Thus, the car will travel 140 kilometers in 2 hours. This confirms that the correct answer is that it travels 140 kilometers, illustrating how we derive the solution by first finding the speed and then applying it to the given time period.
