Acar travels the speed limit. find the rate and can it reach ocean side in 4 hours. explain. the speed limit for oceanside is 65 miles per hour and the total distance is 230 miles.

In order to travel 230 miles in 4 hours, the car would need to have a rate of
  (230 mi)/(4 h) = 57.5 mi/h

If the car travels at 65 mi/h, the trip will take less than 4 hours, so the car will reach Oceanside within the required time.


The speed limit for Oceanside is irrelevant, because the car is not IN Oceanside. It is traveling TO Oceanside. The speed limit along the path of travel is not specified here. Details are important in math (and in speed law enforcement).
