Question

The speed limit is 50 per hour. Kyle is driving to a baseball game that start in 2 hours. Kyle is 130 miles away from the baseball field. If kyle drives at the speed limit will he arrive in time

Answer 1

1. You have to follow the proccedure below:

V=dxt

V is the speed (V=50 miles/hour).
d is the distance (d=130 miles).
t is the time (hours).


2. You must clear the time "t" from V=dxt, as below:

V=dxt
Vxt=d
t=d/V


3. When you susbtitute the values into de formula t=d/V, you obtain:

t=(130 miles)/(50 miles/hour)

4. Then, the result is:

t=2.6 hours

5. As you can see, the baseball game starts in 2 hours and he will arrive in 2.6 hours. Therefore, he will not arrive in time.
