Answer:
No, we will not get there on time.
Explanation:
" Mileage is number of miles traveled or covered "
Abilene Dallas El Paso Lubbock San Antonio
Abilene n/a........... 185...............447............ 165................. 261
Dallas 185.............n/a.............. 633.............351................ 277
El Paso 447........... 633...............n/a...............344...............558
Lubbock 165 ............351.............. 344...............n/a................394
San Ant 261............. 277.............. 558............. 394................n/a
Now we are given that: " You are driving from Lubbock to Abilene at 55 mph. You must be there in 2 1/2 hours".
As the Number of miles between Lubbock to Abilene is 165.
And the speed is given to be 55 mph.
So the time taken to reach Abilene is given by:
As we know that time taken= (Distance covered)/(Speed)
Hence time taken=(165)/(55)= 3 hours.
Hence we can't reach there on time( i.e.
)
