The truck was driving on the road at 55 km / h for 2 hours. In the next 4 hours, it increased the speed by 8 km / h.

The truck was driving on the road at 55 km / h for 2 hours. In the next 4 hours, it increased the speed by 8 km / h. What distance has the truck traveled all the time?

Let’s determine how many kilometers the truck covered in two hours, knowing that its speed was 55 km / h:

1) 55 * 2 = 110 kilometers covered by a truck in two hours;

Let’s determine what the truck’s speed was in the next 4 hours of the trip, knowing that it increased by 8 km / h:

2) 55 + 8 = 63 km / h such was the speed of the truck in the next 4 hours of the trip;

Let’s determine how many kilometers the truck covered in 4 hours of driving, knowing that its speed was 63 km / h:

3) 63 * 4 = 252 km covered by the truck in 4 hours of driving;

Let’s determine the total number of kilometers the truck covered during the entire trip:

4) 252 + 110 = 362 km the truck covered for the entire time.

Answer: During the entire trip, the truck traveled 362 km.
