Question: Michael is traveling on the interstate at an average speed of 50km/hr (taking into account all the necessary stops for gas, relaxation, etc.). If he goes on like this for 3 days, and the distance between Alaska and Texas is 6000 km, what percentage of this distance has he covered?
Context:
candidate_answer_1: To calculate the percentage of the distance Michael has covered, we first need to determine how far he has traveled in 3 days. We know he travels at an average speed of 50km/hr, so we can calculate the distance by multiplying his speed by the number of hours:
Distance = Speed x Time
Distance = 50km/hr x 3 days = 150km
Now that we know Michael has traveled 150km, we can calculate the percentage of the total distance by dividing his distance by the total distance (6000 km) and then multiplying by 100:
Percentage = (Distance / Total Distance) x 1
candidate_answer_2: To calculate the percentage of the distance covered by Michael in 3 days, we first need to determine how far he travels each day. Since he travels at an average speed of 50km/hr, and takes into account all the necessary stops for gas, relaxation, etc., we can assume that he travels for 5-6 hours per day.
Therefore, each day, Michael covers a distance of (50 km/hr x 5-6 hours/day) = 250-300 km.
In 3 days, he covers a total distance of (250-300 km/day x 3 days) = 750-900 km
candidate_answer_3: Michael is traveling on the interstate at an average speed of 50 km/hr. Over the course of 3 days, he would cover a distance of 50 km/hr x 3 days = 150 km.
The total distance between Alaska and Texas is 6000 km. Therefore, the percentage of this distance that Michael has covered is (150 km / 6000 km) x 100% = 2.5%.
Therefore, Michael has covered 2.5% of the distance between Alaska and Texas after 3 days of travel.
Answer:Michael has covered 2.5% of the distance between Alaska and Texas after 3 days of travel.
