Daly Campground is 138 miles from Salem. If Vito leaves Salem at 9:3( A.M. and drives at an average speed of 50 n,p.h , at what time will he reach the campground?

Answer 1

(5) 12:16 P.M

Explanation:

Given:

Distance of Daly campground = 138 miles

Average speed = 50 mph

Time he started = 9. 30 AM

We need to find the time required to reach the campground.

We will use the formula as;

`Speed = (distance)/(Time)\\\\Time= (Distance)/(Speed)`

Now substituting the values we get;

Time =
`(138miles)/(50miles per hour)= 2.76 hour`

Time required to reach Campground =
`2 hour + 0.76 * 60 mins =2 hour \ 46 mins`

Now he started at 9.30 AM and it takes 2 hrs and 45 mins for reaching at Campground.

Hence Vito will reach Daly Campground at 12:16 P.M.
