Question

Keller is driving at a speed of 60 MPH. At noon he sees the following sign: Belmont 3 miles Arville 17 miles Blison 35 miles Longwood 52 miles Swan's Lake 120 miles If he continues to drive the same speed, how far away will Longwood be at 12:20pm?

Answer 1

32 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the speed of 60 mph is constant

Distance = Speed × Time

Time is 20 minutes

Converting to hours

`(20)/(60)=(1)/(3)\ h`

`Distance=60* (1)/(3)\\\Rightarrow Distance=20\ mi`

The car covered 20 mi in 20 minutes.

Distance to Longwood would be
`52-20=32\ mi`

Distance to Longwood is 32 miles
