Answer:

Explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

The time, distance, speed formula is :


time=(distance)/(speed)

distance is given as 420 miles.

speed is given as 45 mph.

Plugging the value of distance and speed in above formula, we can find the time.


time=(420)/(45)


time=9.33

So, the time to travel between town A to town B will be 9.3 hours. : Answer

Hope it will help :)
