Question

devon drives 3/4 the distance to his house in 2 1/2 hours at this speed how long will the entire trip take(can i divide)

Answer 1

Answer: Devon will complete the entire trip in 3 hours 20 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Devon drives
`(3)/(4)` the distance to his house in
`2(1)/(2)` hours,

Let the distance be x

According to question, we get

`Speed=(Distance)/(Time)\\\\Speed=((3x)/(4))/((5)/(2))\\\\Speed=(6x)/(20)=(3x)/(10)`

Now, if he want to travel the entire trip ,

Time taken by Devon is given by

`Time=(Distance)/(Speed)\\\\Time=(x)/((3x)/(10))\\\\Time=(10)/(3)\\\\Time=3(1)/(3)* 60\\\\Time=3\ hours\ 20\ minutes`

Hence, Devon will complete the entire trip in 3 hours 20 minutes.
