Answer:
13.73 hours
Explanation:
On a map with a scale of
1 inch= 100 miles
the distance between two cities is 7.55 inches.
We convert from inches to miles
1 inch = 100 miles
7.55 inches = x
x = 7.55 × 100 miles
x = 755 miles
The distance between the two cities = 755 miles
If a car travels 55 miles per hour, about how long will it take to get from one city to another?
We are to calculate the Time
Speed = Distance /Time
Time = Distance/Speed
Hence, the time is calculated as:
755 miles/55 miles per hour
= 13.727272727 hours
≈ 13.73 hours
