You are driving from San Antonio to Dallas and the distance between the two cities is 277 miles. If you drive at a flat rate of 65mph and you have 4 1/2 hours to get there will you make it on time?

Answer:yes, you will make the journey on time.

Explanation:

The distance between San Antonio and Dallas is 277 miles.

Distance covered = speed/time

Time = distance covered/speed of the car.

If you drive at a flat rate of 65 miles per hour, it means that the time it will take you to cover 277 miles will be

277/65 = 4 17/65 = 4.26 hours

The amount of time that you have for the journey is 4 1/2 hours = 4.5 hours. Since 4.5 hours is greater than 4.26 hours, then you will make the journey on time.
