Answer: The trip takes
(m)/(t)hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Velocity
V is the variation of the position of a body (distance traveled
d) with time
T:


V=(d)/(T)

In this case, the car travels a distance
d=m miles at a velocity
V=t (miles)/(hour) and we need to find the time it takes the trip.

Isolating
T:


T=(d)/(V)=(m miles)/(t (miles)/(hour))

Finally:


T=(m)/(t)hours
