    David roller skates for 3 1/3 hours with a constant speed of 24 km/h and then for another 1 hour 10 minutes with constant speed of 12 km/h. What distance did he go?

    Distance = Rate x Time

    Part 1 of his trip:
    D1 = R1 x T1
    D1 = 3 & 1/3 hours * 24 km/h
    D1 = 80 km

    Part 2 of his trip:
    D2 = R2 x T2
    D2 = 1 & 1/6 hours * 12 km/h (Note, 10 minutes = 1/6 of an hour)
    D2 = 14 km

    Calculate Total Distance (D)
    D = D1 + D2
    D = 80 + 14
    D = 94 km
