Final Answer :
True
Explanation :
To find the answer, we can use the formula: distance = rate x time. Plugging in the given values, we get: distance = 60 mph x 11.5 hours = 690 miles. However, the question asks for how far the car will travel in 11 hours, not 11.5 hours. To adjust for this, we can use proportion:
60 mph = distance / 11.5 hours
Solving for distance, we get:
distance = (60 mph) x (11 hours) / (11.5 hours) = 54.78 miles
Rounding this to the nearest whole number, we get 55 miles, which is not the same as 270 miles. Therefore, the answer is false.
