Question

A car drives 60 miles per hour. Write and solve an equation to find the number of hours it takes the car to travel 360 miles.

Answer 1

`d=s* t`

The number of hours it take the car to travel is 6 hours.

Explanation:

Given : A car drives 60 miles per hour.

To find : Write and solve an equation to find the number of hours it takes the car to travel 360 miles ?

Solution :

The speed of the car is s=60 miles per hour.

The distance covered is d=360 miles.

Let the time taken to cover the distance is t=t hours

The relationship between the speed, time and distance is

`\text{Distance}=\text{Speed}* \text{Time}`

The equation form is

`d=s* t`

`360=60* t`

`t=(360)/(60)`

`t=6`

The number of hours it take the car to travel is 6 hours.

Answer 2

360 miles divided by 60 miles per hours = 6 hours

it will take 6 hours
