Question

A car travels at an average speed of 52 mph how long does it take to travel 286 miles

Answer 1

The answer is 5.5 because 286 divided by 52 equals 5.5

Answer 2

The formula we use is

Speed = distance /time

or

distance = speed * time

here in this question we are provided with speed = 52 mph

and distance = 286 miles

Now formula

distance = speed * time

286 miles = 52 mph * time

divide both sides by 52

286 /52 hours = time

time = 5.5 hours

or we can also say

5 hours 30 minutes
