Question

Shannon is on a long road trip. So far, she has driven 210 miles in 180 minutes. If she has 280 miles left on her trip, how many minutes does she have left to drive, if she continues at the same rate?

Answer 1

I’ll explain it in further detail for you.

First figure out the speed.

Speed = Distance (miles) /Time (mph)

Our units are per hour for this formula, so change it from minutes to hours.

180 minutes = 3 Hours

Speed = 210/3 = 70mph

Now we have to figure out how many minutes she has left to drive (time).

Time = Distance / Speed

280 Miles / 180mph = 1.555556 hours.

Now convert this back to minutes by multiplying by 60.

1.555556 x 60 = 93.3 minutes (93minutes)

The answer is 93 minutes

Answer 2

467.6 miles

Explanation:

Unit rate x 280 = 467.6
