Answer 1

Question:

The driving distance between Manchester and London is 195 miles. Faris intends to travel from Manchester to London by coach. The coach will leave Manchester at 3:30 pm. Faris assumes that the coach will travel at an average speed of 50 mph; using his assumption workout Faris’s arrival time in London

Answer:

`Arrival = 7:24pm`

Explanation:

Given

`Distance = 195\ miles`

`Speed = 50mi/hr`

`Take\ off = 3:30\ pm`

Required

Determine the time of arrival

First, we need to calculate the time to complete the journey.

`Speed = (Distance)/(Time)`

Make Time the subject

`Time= (Distance)/(Speed )`

Substitute values for Distance and Speed

`Time= (195mi)/(50mi/hr)`

`Time= 3.9hr`

The arrival time is:

`Arrival = Take\ off + Time\ Taken`

`Arrival = 3:30pm + 3.9\ hours`

Split

`Arrival = 3:30pm + 3\ hours + 0.9\ hours`

`Arrival = 6:30pm + 0.9\ hours`

Convert 0.9 hours to minutes

`Arrival = 6:30pm + 0.9 * 60\ mins`

`Arrival = 6:30pm + 54\ mins`

`Arrival = 7:24pm`
