Question

For Spring Break, Jenny and her friends are planning a road trip from Houston, Texas, to Los Angeles, California. With almost all of the trip on Interstate 10, the total distance will be 1,740 miles one-way. If they average 70 miles per hour on the trip, to the nearest half hour, how long will it take Jenny and her friends to get there?

Answer 1

Answer: 24.9 hours

Explanation:

They are travelling a total distance of 1,740 miles at a speed of 70 miles per hour. Assuming they do not rest, they will take:

Time = Distance/ Speed

= 1,740/70

= 24.9 hours
