**__Meeting to Exceeding: We’re Goin’ Hollywood!__** __Task:__ Congratulations! You have just been cast in a big Hollywood movie! Only problem is…the movie is being filmed in Hollywood, and you are in New York. Research 3 modes of transportation you can use to travel from New York to L.A. Create a graph using Microsoft Excel to display the distance traveled and the time it took to get there. Also, use the formula for speed to determine average speed of the three modes of transportation.

3 modes of transportation: -Train -Car -Plane

I, Nicole A.V Doyle, have been casted in a big Hollywood movie! The problem is that the movie is being filmed in Hollywood and I live in New York. But, I have come up with a solution. I can whether get there by train, car or plane to get from New York to L.A. First, I have learned that from New York to L.A by train it will take 72 hours (4 days). Second, I have learned that from New York to L.A by car will take about 60 hours (2 1/2 days). Lastly, I have learned that from New York to L.A by plane will take about 5 1/2 hours. In addition, from New York to California is 2790 miles.

__Formula:__ S=d/t ex: S=400 miles/2 hr. S=200 m/hr

__Work:__ -Train S=d/t S=2790 miles/72 hrs. S=38.8 m/h

-Car S=d/t S=2790 miles/60 hrs. S=46.5 m/h

-Plane S=d/t S=2790 miles/5.5 hrs. S=507.3 m/h
